Disability is an impairment that may be cognitive, development, intellectual, activity, limitations, sensory or some combination of these. It substantially affects a person’s life activities and may be present from birth or occur during a person’s lifetime. Disability is a contested concept, with different meanings of different communities. It may be used to refer to physical or mental attributes that some institutions, particularly medicine, view as needing to be fixed. It may refer to limitations imposed on people by the constraints of an ablest society. People with disabilities have the same health needs as non-disabled people for immunizations, cancer screening etc. They may also experience a narrow margin of health both because of poverty and social exclusion and also because they may be vulnerable to secondary conditions such as pressure sores or urinary tract infections. In this article, systematic review on socio-legal status of disabled persons has been discussed.
