The Kilifi Department of Health collaborated with the National Council for Persons With Disabilities (NCPWD) and Kenya Red Cross to tackle the integration of persons with disabilities.
The purpose of this meeting was to examine and examine the provisions of the Persons with Disabilities Act no. 14, with a specific focus on addressing disabilities in the workplace and creating disability-friendly environments in our organizations and institutions.
This entailed discussing and establishing a plan of action that includes forming a committee for promoting inclusion, implementing training programs, developing disability-inclusive workplace policies, raising awareness among management and staff about disability-related issues, revising policies to accommodate persons with disabilities, and providing reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities.
We regard this as a forward-thinking endeavor by the department to foster inclusiveness within all our organizations, with the goal of improving service provision for everyone.
