WHO Resolution on Persons With Disabilities Omits Mention of CBR – Why You Should Care https://thewire.in/health/who-resolution-on-persons-with-disabilities-omits-mention-of-cbr-why-you-should-care
'Community-based rehabilitation' attempts to ensure that persons with disabilities can live the fullest lives possible with the participation of those around them, no matter where they live.
A new decision by the World Health Organisation (WHO) to move away from a policy it initiated over four decades ago has surprised disability rights activists, particularly those working in countries of the ‘Global South’.
“What the WHO is saying now is that we are a health organisation, [and] inclusion is not our mandate,” B. Venkatesh, founder-convenor of the Indian Forum for Rehabilitation and Assistive Technology and president of the CBR Global Network, told The Wire. “That’s why the entire focus in the recent literature coming out of Rehab 2030 is shifting towards increasing infrastructure, more primary health centres, etc.”
“The Rehab 2030 agenda may want to make health-service delivery the same in all countries, but that’s not going to happen without the political will, and not for many, many years,” Venkatesh said.
Instead, to reach the most marginalised people, he suggested investing in communities. “You have to increase the knowledge and skills of people in the community, to provide care wherever they are. There is no universal health coverage without CBR. There’s no other developed methodology available.”
Consultation in Africa on the Inclusion of CBR in the WHA Resolution in May 2021
Opening Remarks B Venkatesh Preseident CBR Global, and Musonda Siame, Chairman CBR African Network: Exclusion of CBR in the in the WHA resolution will adversely affect persons with different disabilities and other vulnerable population groups needing habilitation and rehabilitation services living in poverty.Community based interventions like CBR values community and its members and their contributions thus enabling them to become responsible citizens and this is an age old practice. Innumerable examples of this practice include the concept of “small is beautiful.
Policy Brief by CGN IFRA by Cristy Abraham
“the Ask” in the policy brief CGN and IFRA membersendorse these activities with focus more on home-based and community-based rehabilitation services and hence, call for CBR to be universally applied across countries, not limited to pilot projects and limited geographic treatments. Systems to deliver CBR need to be established and aligned with the primary healthcare delivery structures in all countries; and to make best use of Organization of persons with disabilities, community volunteers and home based carers to expand the workforce, delivering the appropriate skills to these cadres.
Recommendations
WHA resolution on “Habilitation and Rehabilitation for All” should be adopted in 2022.
The proposed resolution mentioned above should have a central emphasis on the role of CBR as a strategy for habilitation and rehabilitation service delivery, especially in low and middle – income countries.
Concluding Comments
It is important to recognise the value of non-healthcare workers and supporting family
members for caring and including persons with disabilities in all walks of life. This needs to be fore grounded in policy, planning and programming. Self help groups and Organization of persons with disabilities associations of persons with disabilities, are the primary stakeholders for CBR, contribute to sustainability of the approach.
https://reliefweb.int/report/world/women-s-unpaid-and-underpaid-work-times-covid-19 As Covid-19 grips the world, market economy have shuttered, schools have closed, and nearly half of the global population is confined to their homes. Yet millions of care workers step out every day to keep the lights on and support those in need, for very low wages. Majority of these care workers are women – nurses, community health workers, nursing home staff, sanitation workers, laundry workers, and others – whose work has been serially undervalued and underpaid.
However another army of unpaid workers, which has been been highlighted at the time of the pandemic, is home care persons, most of them women. When the second wave hit India, and the hospitals were jammed and de-oxygenated, the system had to rely on these home care workers to keep mild patients from crowding hospitals. The medical system has long ignored the contribution of home care persons mainly women.. moms, wives, sister et al. It is time that this work is recognised and supported. By way of general education, and perhaps an insurance scheme which compensates them when they have to stay at home for medical emergencies and loose their pay in office. Perhaps even a locality based "civil defense" type of system.
Even in normal times, the hospital needs one person to stay at the side of the patient, because the system put a strain on the nurses and the equipment if they have to monitor all patients.
There is one group of organisations which have demonstrated a workable system. They are the so called disability sector. Their Programme "Commmunity Based Rehabilitation" pays particular attention to the needs of care givers at home. In fact this month the WHA is supposed to meet on the Health for All resolution, where for the first time the disability section does not have a mention of the Communiity Based Rehabilitation. http://emeets.lnwr.in/index.php/community-based-services
