Priorities in disability prevention and rehabilitation.
One in ten of the world's population is disabled. The nature of the disability depends on the age and social environment of the person at risk. These problems were highlighted during the United Nations International Year of Disabled Persons. This has led to the identification of a number of main problems which the present World Health Organization programmes hope to solve, as part of the wider aim of Health for All by the Year 2000.
