NATIONAL COUNCIL ON DISABILITY: Enforceable Accessible Medical Equipment Standards: A Necessary Means to Address the Health Care Needs of People with Mobility Disabilities
People with disabilities experience much higher risk of preventable disease and poorer health outcomes than the general population, yet adults with disabilities continue to face major physical barriers that prevents access to health care and leads to unmet health care needs. One of the biggest barriers is the need for more accessible medical diagnostic equipment. The National Council on Disability released another report about this. The findings are very interesting. The need for accessible medical equipment really shows in the statistics in the report.
