[Deaf Zimbabwe Trust @DeafZimTrust]

The Medical Services Amendment Bill is designed to align the Medical Services Act to the Constitution of Zimbabwe. The amendment takes into account section 83(b) which obligates the state to afford persons with disabilities with equal access to medical services.

Parents ensure that children have the needed provision and support to access education and learning.

Arresting people who are Deaf in the absence of a SL Interpreter denies them of the rights stipulated in Section 50 of the 🇿🇼Constitution. Blessing Gubwe speaks about his experiences during arrest.

[Deaf Zimbabwe Trust @DeafZimTrust]

An Inclusive education policy is important as it will create school environments that meet the need of Children with Disabilities & ultimately improve the learning outcomes of learners with disabilities.

[Deaf Zimbabwe Trust @DeafZimTrust]

SDGs cannot be achieved unless the global needs of children with disabilities are considered (UN, 2016). lack of an Inclusive Education Policy in 🇿🇼 has resulted in inadequate accomodations for children with disabilities
