About 250,000 disabled people in the working age will be provided with
vocational training and suitable jobs between 2012-2015.
This is one of the targets of a project to assist the disabled in the
2012-2020 period recently approved by the Prime Minister.
Under the project, from 2016-2020, all offices of State-owned
agencies, railway and bus stations, medical and educational facilities,
and cultural and sports establishment must ensure access for the
disabled.
About 50 percent of the disabled will be
assisted in accessing and using information technology and
communications services.
One of the project’s
activities is to provide services to detect and treat deformities among
children before and right after their birth.
In
addition, the project will build and expand models combining vocational
training and job generation for the disabled as well as a pilot model to
provide functional rehabilitation for those in a number of provinces.
Each year, about 70 percent of disabled people will
gain access to healthcare services and the same figure of children to
six years old will get their deformities detected while around 60,000
disabled people will be provided with orthopaedic surgery and functional
rehabilitation.-VNA
