SHAH ALAM, Oct 10 — The Ministry of Health (MOH), through its Family Health Development Division’s Persons with Disabilities (PWD) Sector, has initiated strategic discussions on the development of the MOH PWD Strategic Plan.
Health Minister Datuk Seri Dzulkefly Ahmad said the ministry was also drafting a proposal for a national-level PWD Registry (OKU Registry), which would incorporate data and needs profiles of the cerebral palsy (CP) community.
“This step shows that your voices are being heard and translated into structured action at the ministry level to plan a service delivery system driven by actual data.
“Approaches such as the CP Living Library featured in this symposium are highly significant. Clinical knowledge provides medical and scientific evidence, while your lived experiences offer a human and empathetic perspective,” he said.
