Description
Go to the World Health Organization (WHO) National Policy Documents
In this section, the WHO provides links to some examples of national policies, strategies, and plans of action for disability and rehabilitation currently being implemented by countries around the world in the hope that it will assist or inspire those tasked to develop similar tools. Additional policies, strategies, and plans of action will be added as they are made known to WHO. The provision of the links below does not indicate endorsement of those sites by WHO, and WHO accepts no responsibility for the validity or accuracy of their content.
