As the conversation on inclusion continues, we will consider one of the most pressing issues: healthcare. Scanning through the healthcare system in Nigeria, AbilityX 1.0 will shine a spotlight on healthcare inclusion and the urgent need for systems that serve everyone equitably.
The State of Disability Inclusion Report (SDIR) 2024 reveals that over 60% of persons with disabilities in Nigeria still struggle to access affordable and inclusive healthcare. Many hospitals remain inaccessible, lacking ramps, sign language interpreters, and disability-sensitive staff. In rural areas, persons with disabilities often travel long distances for basic care, without the mobility aids or support they need.
AbilityX is challenging this narrative. The forum will bring together policymakers, innovators, and advocates to explore how technology, data, and inclusive policies can transform healthcare delivery. Its message is clear: inclusive healthcare is not charity; it is a human right and the foundation for national development.
Through high-level dialogues and solution-driven discussions, AbilityX will highlight practical strategies for integrating disability data into health systems and enforcing accessibility standards across facilities.
AbilityX 1.0 is not just another forum; it’s a movement toward a Nigeria where no one is left behind because of a disability, where healthcare inclusion becomes not a promise, but a practice. Join us on December 2, 2025, at the Sheraton Hotel, Ikeja, Lagos, to discuss the development of an inclusive healthcare system.
