This recognition is essential to build momentum and to catalyse the political prioritization needed for heads of states and governments, ministers, heads of agencies and international organizations, the private sector, and civil society leaders to make concrete commitments on disability inclusion in the health sector leading up to the Global Disability Summit on 16-17 February 2022 (Global Disability Summit - Submit or Update a Commitment).
