Article Synopsis
- People with disabilities in Brazil have significant healthcare needs but encounter various barriers to access.
- The National Health Policy for People with Disabilities (PNSPD), launched in 2002, focuses on six key areas to improve healthcare equality but has been inadequately implemented.
- A scoping review of literature from 2002 to 2019 revealed limited evidence of PNSPD's effectiveness, highlighting significant gaps in healthcare delivery, training, and the overall integration of services for people with disabilities.
