Clause 10 of the Medical Services Amendment Bill empowers the state to make regulations in respect of health care to be afforded to persons with chronic illnesses, persons over the age of seventy years and veterans of the War of Liberation and persons with disabilities #Inclusion

An Inclusive education policy is important as it will create school environments that meet the need of Children with Disabilities & ultimately improve the learning outcomes of learners with disabilities. #Inclusiveeducationpolicynow

SDGs cannot be achieved unless the global needs of children with disabilities are considered (UN, 2016). lack of an Inclusive Education Policy in 🇿🇼 has resulted in inadequate accomodations for children with disabilities @MoPSEZim @zinecda @ecozim @stdanielsrehab @BrianMalvin

Section 193 of the Criminal Procedure and Evidence Act which did not provide for an interpreter when someone who is Deaf is arrested was declared unconstitutional by Highcourt. The re-alignment of this clause is now underway through the Judicial Law Ammendment Bill
