• Over and above the media attention, Canadian
  public policy, legislation, and human rights
  treaties guarantee access to health care even.
  Canada is a signatory into the Convention on the
  Rights connected with Persons with Disabilities
  and has now enacted the Canada Well being

But Will Women of All Ages

• With disabilities and hard of hearing women find
  the policies, expert services, awareness, funds
  and winners to ensure we are not overlooked of
  the picture when it comes to that critical health
  issue for all women of all ages?
• Research has shown women having disabilities and
  deaf women of all ages face multiple barriers to
  help accessing health care, including cancer
  treatment and screening.
• For instance, they are less likely than women of
  all ages without disabilities to receive pelvic
  and mammogram exams consistently and are thus at
  a and the higher for delayed diagnosis of busts
  and cervical cancer. The good reasons for this
  are due to both physical and systemic barriers.
  Physical barriers tend to be more visible, such
  as mammogram machines that demand we own standing
  or specific ranking, or inaccessible exam
  workstations.

  formats such as American Warning Language (ASL)
  and Expression des (LSQ) video. As well, there
  are not any qualified ASL interpreters for
  individuals who
• Who are deaf, hard or deafened of hearing and no
  communication supports for women who are
  nonverbal.
• In some full cases, health care practitioners
  focus on the disability itself as an ongoing
  health problem, and ignore the overall wellness
  of the patient. As a total result, ladies with
  disabilities and hard of hearing women are not
  encouraged to have screened.

• The Disabled Ladies Network (DAWN) Canada
  includes a range of resources on cancer of
  the Breast Cancer Awareness and disability that
  can be used to boost understanding of the health
  care requires of women with disabilities in
  addition to Deaf women, and to improve access to
  breast cancer awareness cancer treatment and
  prevention for all women.
• Even so the responsibility for accessible
  health-related cannot rest with a sole
  organization. Rather, it must be taken up by
  policy makers collectively, health-related
  practitioners, media and researchers champions.
  With understanding, we can all take liability for
  ensuring that all women of all ages are in the
  lilac, including women with Deaf and
  disabilities women.
