Nursing education continues to be sidelined in HPE, & it's time we address the blatant #ableism within the system. A massive thank you to the @NONDORG for standing up for aspiring #NursesWithDisabilities in 🇮🇳. Thank you @timesofindia for raising our voices! A thread🧵 1/ While examples like Krishna, Meeta & Lokesh in TOI story 👇 show that #NursesWithDisabilities can indeed work in hospitals & may, in fact, show more understanding to patients, hurdles to a nursing career have only increased for other disabled aspirants. 2/

Why @DwDAoC & @ATHI_Tweet wrote to @Drvirendrakum13 Union Minister @MSJEGOI @socialpwds on the new @NMC_IND guidelines?

He is the Chairperson of the Central Advisory Board on Disability under #RPDA2016 as well as the National Council for Transgender Persons under the #TPA2019
1/ The NMC's controversial #CBME2024 released on 31 Aug, was covered in editorials by major news agencies, discussed on prime-time shows as well as labelled an International embarrassment by foreign media forcing NMC to withdraw it on the Teachers day 2/

🚨 Urgent Request for Correction of Misinformation in the recently uploaded Anganwadi Protocol for Children w/ Disabilities by the @MinistryWCD @Annapurna4BJP @SThakuroffice developed with @socialpwds & @MoHFW_INDIA.

It contains several inaccuracies 🧵1/

📝While the protocol, developed with DEPD & MoHFW, aims to improve disability intervention through early screening, community inclusion & referral support, it contains significant inaccuracies that could lead misinformed screening & M/m of disabilities. #DisabilityAwareness 2/

On #IDPD2018, @_PVRCinemas rolled out its ‘Accessible Cinema Program’ with CEO Gautam Dutta claiming that #A11y is embedded into how they think, design & build cinema. @SanjeevBijli vowed cinema to be an inclusive experience. Reality ✅ #DisabilityDiscrimination & #PatheticPVR 1/ My ♿️-user colleague & other friends booked wheelchair-accessible seats shown online as C9,C10 on @bookmyshow vide ID:WLDGLQ6 for 2:05 pm PVR, EDM, GZB show on 25.5.22. When they reached @PicturesPVR , staff proclaimed we are ♿️ accessible. 2/ #PatheticPVR

On this #HumanRightsDay, I am exposing #AbleistAIIMS, their highly ableist culture & shocking plagiarised report. The genesis is my RTI exposing how AIIMS deliberately denied #DocsWithDisabilities postgrad seats in AIIMS for the last eight exams whereas JIPMER, PGI embraced. 1/ Dr Sanjay Wadhwa (PMR) & his same team of controversial non-disabled members framed guidelines for #DocsWithDisabilities in PG at AIIMS, Delhi. I wonder if this is the most ableist document ever published in the history of #MedEd in India? #AbleistAIIMS
