Speaking at the event, Deputy Minister Bounkong Sihavong said the Lao Party and Government always encourage the equal right of PWDs in accessing medical check-ups and treatment.

Issues tabled for discussion included a five-year plan on providing care and rehabilitation for disabled people and on how to help them deal with unemployment and integrate into the community.
