Health:
Most of the people live under poverty. Families who have children with disabilities they have not enough ability to provide Health & Rehabilitation services. In our area we have lack of accessibility in health centers. In Govt. Hospital have no specialist for Children with disabilities who can provide services. There are no available ram facilities in Govt. Hospital which will help to entire children with disabilities smoothly. Medicines for children with disabilities are not available in Govt. Hospital. Every year we have seen in the development budget; there is no specific allocation for health care services to PWDs.
Education:
Most of the school-aged children with disabilities are unable to access formal and non-formal education. The ongoing Primary Education Development Program (PEDP-II) envisions inclusive education but lacks implementation infrastructure. Health services are not linked with schools. For NDD, VI and H&S disabled children school activities and campus aren’t appropriate. For physical disabled transportation accessible are not suitable & schools are distance for students with disabilities.
