Champion Equality, Diversity and Inclusion

Disability refers to lack of competent power, strength, or physical or mental ability; incapacity or a permanent physical flaw, weakness or handicap, which prevents one from living a full normal life or from performing any specific job. Another definition of disability implies that society's perceptions and attitudes may be a part of the disability itself.

Equality in terms of health services is very important for society. If a country wants to develop and prosper, it is important that it treats everyone equally and provide good health services to them. Each individual is important to the society with different talents and they must not be discriminated on the basis of cast or religion.
