1.3 billion people in the world experience significant disability. Yet, the competence and understanding of reasonable adjustments among health workers are in many settings inadequate to provide the same level of care to persons with disabilities as to those without disabilities. Despite the establishment of a Disability, Equity, and Justice Group for the first time ever in the Group of Twenty (G20) in India this year, the global leaders of advanced and emerging economies failed to explicitly address disability in the recommendations, despite emphasis that financial investment in a disability-inclusive health sector is an investment with dividends.
