The World Health Organisation has launched the first World Disability Report (June 2011). The aim of the report is to provide evidence about what works to overcome barriers to health care, rehabilitation, education, employment, and support services, and to create the environments which will enable people with disabilities to flourish. The report ends with a concrete set of recommended actions for governments and their partners.
