Ability Bhutan Society and DANTAK healthcare professionals organized a medical and dental camp for children with disabilities, providing free check-ups, screenings, and health education. Nima Dema reports that many children with disability and autism struggle in clinic settings, but dental professionals provide hygiene sessions, early treatment, health screenings, and follow-up consultations. The camp is about inclusive healthcare, according to Kuzang N. Tshering, executive director of ABS. Half of the 60 kids who are registered with ABS have autism and require the right kind of care and attention.
Many people find it difficult to get regular medical care because of communication, social, or physical obstacles. Without qualified personnel or interpreters, parents say it can be practically difficult for children with impairments to receive healthcare. Healthcare professionals frequently lack disability-inclusive care training. In hospitals, there are frequently no special counters for patients with disabilities, with the exception of the old counter. Based on community requirements, ABS hosts medical camps twice a year.
