2/ Delhi High Court in Saurabh Shukla v. Max Bupa Insurance & Anr., dated 13th December 2022, ordered the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India to ensure insurance policies are designed for persons with disability.
3/ The court remarked that "it is the settled position in law that the right to life includes the right to health and healthcare is an integral part of the same." [livelaw.in/news-updates/c…]

3/ Persons with disabilities face double trouble owing to their disproportionate requirement for medical services & inaccessible medical infrastructure (both in terms of the monetary & built environment).

More than 90% of the women DOTW supports have no access to healthcare due to a range of factors including the impact of poverty, the hostile environment and fear of accessing services, homelessness, chaotic living situations, and language barriers #HealthForAll
Following #UHCDay and as part of our week looking at Universal Health Coverage, what it means, and how we work towards it, today we are sharing work we have done to improve access to information on COVID-19 and the vaccine #HealthForAll
Since the beginning of the pandemic, DOTW has worked to improve access to COVID services, including the vaccines for people who have historically being excluded from mainstream healthcare services #HealthForAll
We are only safe when we are all safe.

On #UHCDay, we must remind everyone that it's not just #COVID19 that’s killing people. It's:
-underprivilege
-lack of access
-years of living with health conditions that haven't been properly managed because of their skin colour, ethnicity, or social group

We all have different health needs, but our right to health is the same. Health systems must be ready to provide the full spectrum of

services based on our needs, not our ability to pay.
That means #HealthForAll!
