Tonight we met again with Mel Greaux from WHO about our project considering children with disability's perspectives of health. We had a LOT to discuss - but some of the exciting news was that we currently have received 79 drawings from 12 countries: Australia, Botswana, Canada, Denmark, Hungary, Iceland, Iran, Malta, Netherlands, Thailand, United Kingdom, United States. The children have a mean age of 8, 15 have a diagnosed health condition and 11 have a disability.
Mel shared information about this week's launch of the WHO Disability Health Equity Initiative https://www.who.int/initiatives/disability-health-equity-initiative "The WHO Disability Health Equity initiative aims to close the avoidable health gaps between persons with disabilities and the broader population."
