《如何在處理突發公共衛生事件的相關政策中
顧及殘疾人士的需要:
法律規範，道德責任與政策實踐》
Persons with disabilities suffer disproportionally in all types of public emergencies, and public health emergencies are no exception. Around the world, the COVID-19 pandemic has directly or indirectly paralysed essential medical, rehabilitative and other support services, leaving many persons with disabilities in desperate situations.
The aim of the project is to develop an empirically informed and theoretically supported policy framework for the Hong Kong government to accommodate the needs of persons with disabilities in public health emergencies.
