INTRODUCTION
Disability is a crosscutting concern of the different agencies
of the government and non-government organizations. Our goals
for building this directory are foremost for the Persons with
Disabilities (PWDs) to strengthen their access to the various
available services and programs of health, social welfare,
education, employment through the help of the National Council
for Disability Affairs (NCDA), Department of Social Welfare and
Development (DSWD), Department of Health (DOH), and the
Local Government Units (LGU), and for these sectors to foster
further coordination and partnerships.
Primarily, the basic identification and referral pathways for
different disabilities will direct you to the particular details and
contact persons that will provide assessments and management,
assistive devices and educational services. Moreover, lists of
support group and basic advice, health tips and home
modifications will serve as a simple guide. Following are the
general organizations and associations and the over-all list of
health facilities and educational services in Region VI.
With this information, we would like to in turn encourage
persons with disabilities’ participation in decision-making in
improving their lives to better health, higher educational
attainment and more socio-economic involvement.
BACKGROUND
Disability prevalence is high and growing. There are over one
billion people with disabilities in the world, of who between 110190 million experience very significant difficulties. This
corresponds to about 15% of the world’s population and is higher
than previous World Health Organization (WHO) estimates, which
date from the 1970s and suggested a figure of around 10%. The
prevalence of disability is growing due to population ageing and
the global increase in chronic health conditions. Patterns of
disability in a particular country are influenced by trends in health
conditions and trends in environmental and other factors – such
as road traffic crashes, natural disasters, conflict, diet and
substance abuse.

WHO global disability action plan 2014–2021: Better health
for all people with disability
The Action Plan has three objectives:
• To remove barriers and improve access to health services and
programmes;
• To strengthen and extend rehabilitation, habilitation, assistive
technology, assistance and support services, and
community-based rehabilitation;
• To strengthen collection of relevant and internationally
comparable data on disability and support research on
disability and related services.

MESSAGE
For the third time, the National Council on Disability Affairs proudly acknowledges the
initiatives of World Health Organization in addressing the health and rehabilitation needs of
people with disabilities in Region VI with this Directory of Rehabilitation and Health Service
Providers which is expected to fill the gap on availability of information on existing
rehabilitation services within these regions.
We also acknowledge the contributions of all stakeholders to the realization of this directory
which will serve as a resource for individuals and families looking for available opportunities
and services. This is also useful for organizations working on health and rehabilitation of persons
with disabilities to establish coordination and network to improve availability and affordability
of services and its efficient delivery.
NCDA is positive that this coordinated and synchronized efforts of all concerned stakeholders
towards inclusion of persons with disabilities in all phases of recovery after typhoon Yolanda
will continue. The power of information will boost people’s initiatives and participation in the
development process.
Through the Region VI Council on Disability Affairs this directory will serve as a tool for all
member agencies to expand according to the needs of all persons with disabilities within these
regions. Let us also work together that in the near future, all regions will also develop their own
resource directories.
Let us all unite in vision for an inclusive society for all.

MESSAGE
In public health perspective, a significant reality is that people with disabilities face widespread
barrier and not getting enough access to services including health.
World report on disability has shown that disability prevalence is high and growing with over
one billion people in the world. Further, reports revealed the prevalence of disability is growing
due to population aging and the global increase in chronic health conditions.
In the Philippines, as of the 2010 census population, data showed that the country has 1.57%
disability prevalence among its population.
In the light of new perspective and aligning with the interest and goals of Kalusugan
Pangkalahatan or Universal Health Care, the Health and Wellness Program for Persons With
Disabilities of the Department of Health (DOH) has adopted a framework that will ensure
improvement in the access of PWDs to a disability inclusive health and wellness. The
framework follows three action areas; improving access, strengthening data collection and
utilization.
Thus, the WHO initiative in the development & launching of the Directory of Health,
Rehabilitation and Disability Services is so timely and commendable. A valuable tool, it hopes to
be able to provide information as to current actions and interventions, expedite services &
referral networks to improve health & wellness of PWDs.
The DOH Regional Office VI wishes to convey our sincere appreciation and acknowledgement
to the World Health Organization (WHO) and to its entire dedicated technical staff which have
painstakingly drafted and put together this Resource Directory.
