Description
Globally, more than one billion people are living with a disability, many of which are not visible. The most common hidden disabilities include depression, hearing, and visual problems. The pandemic compounded some hidden disabilities particularly on the mental health front, and the impact of long Covid-19 is yet to be completely understood. This session will look at renewed efforts to address the impact of hidden disabilities to improve quality of life.
