Living with a disability

Children and young people with disabilities have difficulty in accessing healthcare services that accommodate for their specific needs. Each child's situation is unique and so providing comprehensive care that addresses their needs will help promote their health and well-being.

As one of our priority populations, we aim to support and facilitate specialised care for clinicians who may have patients with disabilities.
