Equal Treatment 

Supporting rights and access of people with intellectual disabilities to secondary and tertiary healthcare service

The partners of the Equal Treatment Project are very pleased to publish the analyses of its research findings in a Study with policy recommendations.  The Study showcases a summary of the analysis carried out by the project consortium of Equal Treatment: collecting good practices on access of persons with intellectual disabilities to secondary and tertiary healthcare; a literature review and a stakeholder analysis. Additionally, this report includes policy recommendations aimed at improving the access of persons with intellectual disabilities to secondary and tertiary healthcare. 

As an added value, support for the development of the policy recommendations was provided by three large European Networks in this field: European Hospital and Healthcare Federation; INCLUSION EUROPE and a European Specialist Nurses Organisation. 

Conversations have already taken place to share the good practices and policy recommendations with WHO Europe, to contribute to its European framework for action to achieve the highest attainable standard of health for persons with disabilities 2022–2030.
