Advocacy Visit on Disability-Inclusive Health Budgeting

DWAI led a strategic advocacy visit to the FCT Primary Health Care Board to advance disability-inclusive health budgeting across the six FCT Area Councils. Together with representatives of disability organizations, the team presented findings from its baseline assessment, highlighted barriers faced by persons with disabilities in accessing primary healthcare, and advocated for dedicated budget allocations. The engagement secured the Board's commitment to explore funding for disability-inclusive health services through the FCT Health Insurance Scheme's Vulnerable Funds Program, marking a significant step toward more accessible and equitable healthcare.
