He emphasised that disability rights matter and charged healthcare professionals to see the person, not the disability.

The group’s focal person, Dr Oyelakin Ogungbade, urged healthcare professionals, policy makers, service providers, and the public to acknowledge persons with disabilities as integral parts of society whose interests must be catered for.

The session facilitator, Olufemi Oyedeji, who spoke on understanding disability and inclusive healthcare, SRHR needs, and barriers faced by persons with disabilities, said the inclusion of persons with disabilities was not a favour but justice.
