“MOPH National Policy

Strategy for disability and rehabilitation”—running caption.

Summary: “Afghanistan’s new constitution guarantees the integration of persons with disabilities into public social life, thereby equal opportunities to development and access to services in all sectors. The vision of Ministry of Public Health (MOPH) is to promote a barrier free society for all. The vision is underpinned by the principles of participation, integration and equalization of opportunities as defined by the United Nation Convention on the rights of persons with disability and the general health vision expressed in the Health and Nutrition Sector Strategy (HNSS). MOPH aims to assist adults and children with disability and others in need of physical rehabilitation services to become positive contributors to and beneficiaries of national development”—(p. 6).
