Another important step towards creating more accessible and inclusive communities has been made through the delivery of equipment to institutions and organisations that provide support to persons with disabilities.
The Health Centre received a gynaecological examination chair adapted for persons with limited mobility, a hydraulic lift, and a three-panel privacy screen, improving the conditions for delivering healthcare services and ensuring better support for beneficiaries.
At the “11 October” School, a medical practice room has been established to help familiarise children with developmental disabilities with medical examinations through an adapted and supportive approach, making healthcare environments less intimidating.
The Association of Persons with Muscular Dystrophy received a hydraulic lift for the safe transfer of persons with limited mobility onto a massage table, making this service accessible to a larger number of beneficiaries.
By strengthening the capacities of local institutions and organisations, this support helps remove barriers faced by persons with disabilities and contributes to more equal access to services, support, and opportunities for a better quality of life.
The equipment was provided through the EMPOWERED project, which promotes the inclusion of persons with disabilities and supports the development of accessible and inclusive communities across the Western Balkans.
The equipment was provided through the EMPOWERED project, implemented in Serbia by IDC – Initiative for development and cooperation with the support of the City of Leskovac, as part of a wider regional initiative led by ASB South East Europe. By supporting local institutions and organisations, the project helps create more accessible and inclusive communities for persons with disabilities throughout the Western Balkans.
