Every year on December 3rd, the world observes the International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPD). In 2025, the United Nations theme is “Fostering disability-inclusive societies for advancing social progress”. This day is a reminder that over 1.3 billion people worldwide—1 in 6 of us—live with significant disabilities. The observance calls for equity, accessibility, and inclusive health systems that recognize the dignity and rights of persons with disabilities.
