President Dr Arif Alvi has urged the government organizations and civil society to make special efforts for the inclusion of persons with disabilities in all spheres of life.

In a message on the occasion of International Day of Persons with Disabilities, being observed today, he said we need to create an enabling and friendly environment for persons with disabilities by providing them inclusive education, healthcare facilities, employment based on their skills and abilities, and implementing job quotas.

Dr Arif Alvi said Pakistan remains committed to its mission to eliminate societal barriers that obstruct the journey of persons with disabilities to success.
