The policy documents will be analysed to examine whether issues related to universal and equitable access to health care and persons with disabilities are addressed. A framework of analysis will be developed that allows us to assess the degree to which activity limitations are considered in the promotion of accessible healthcare. This analysis will not only examine if any of the core concepts of disability policy are contained in international policy documents, but recommend a way forward for the inclusion of these in the future.

Description of work:

• Establish inclusion and exclusion criteria for review of international, regional and country level health policy publications.
• Source the relevant documents at country, regional and international level.
  Use a standardized formal framework, based on best practices principles of systematic review, to review and analyses the above documents.
• Produce a bibliography of relevant documentation, annotated with brief summaries.

• Consolidate the above reports into one report and undertake comparative analysis and interpretation.
