Suggested solutions to barriers in accessing healthcare by persons with disability in Uganda: a qualitative study
The multifaceted solutions proposed by persons with disabilities highlight the complex challenges they face in accessing healthcare services and highlight the necessity for comprehensive, sustainable interventions. The call to action for policymakers and healthcare providers is to prioritise the incorporation of disability-inclusive practices and explore multi-dimensional approaches that foster a more inclusive healthcare environment that adequately meets the needs of persons with disabilities.
