Disability inclusion in the Brazilian health system: results of a health system assessment
The Missing Billion framework can identify progress and opportunities to strengthen disability inclusion in health systems. In Brazil, key promotive factors include supportive policies, leadership and financing structures. There are also opportunities for strengthening data and evidence, healthcare worker training on disability and health service accessibility. Actions must be centered on and informed by people with disabilities.
