title: Disability in Western Highlands Province.
abstract: During late 1987 and early 1988 the Mount Hagen Handicapped Children's Centre (as it was then known) set out to determine if substantial numbers of persons with disabling conditions lived within 15km of Mount Hagen town. The investigation located 1408 persons, deemed by themselves, family members or neighbours to have a disability.
