“Leaving no one Behind”
Is More than a Slogan
Eritrea Health Care Success
Children with IDDs

The empowerment of the disabled and other socially and physically disadvantaged segments of the society continues to be a priority of Eritrea’s development agenda. The government and community organizations are actively working to ensure that Eritreans living with disabilities are not left behind. Soon after Eritrea’s independence, associations were established to represent and work for people with disabilities. The associations secured unfettered support from the government and the people living inside and outside of Eritrea. The associations that are functioning include the Eritrean National War-Disabled Veterans Association, Eritrean National Association of the Deaf, Eritrean National Association of the Blind and National Association of Autism and Down syndrome in Eritrea.
