| Abstract: | It is estimated that around 16 per cent of the global population are disabled people, and some 80 per cent of these reside in the so-called global South (WHO, 2023). The numbers continue to rise, whether on account of increasing poverty and inequality, fragmented access to affordable quality healthcare, climate change and disasters, conflict, and wars, forced migration, ageing, and increasing prevalence of chronic diseases in an increasingly globalized world.
