World Health Day 2023

WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros and I are discussing the report in his office. We're sitting in armchairs, both wearing face masks, and my braille computer is in my lap. The small round table between us has the WHO flag, and on the wall is a framed image of the WHO's Headquarters building in Geneva.

It's World Health Day! I met with World Health Organization Director-General Dr. Tedros to help launch the Global Report on Health Equity for Persons with Disabilities. Share it with your local health agencies & schools. Tell them to remove barriers facing disabled people.
