Humanitarian Needs and Challenges Related to the Disabled Population

People with disabilities raise important and special humanitarian approaches. There is a strong necessity for an epidemiological and sociological study of disabled population with regard to disease distribution and the patients' social profile based on the bio-psycho-social model of health and illness. Adverse economic data, low social cohesion, and consequently, social exclusion are often observed within the specific population. According to the quantitative research conducted, the population's nosological profile has serious effects on patients' everyday lives and is directly related to social parameters. Fundamental social factors and access to health services affect people with a degree of disability of over 67% health in terms of disease prevention and treatment. At the same time, social determinants seem to negatively affect their health and treatment. There is a clear need for an information technology system that will monitor and produce appropriate key performance indicators to help design appropriate policies for the specific population.
