Almost half of these doctors have some form of physical or motor limitation.
Ferreira, a pediatrician and professor at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and the current financial director of the Brazilian Society of Pediatrics, toldHe explained that each regional board inspects the healthcare services in its respective state."The system checks, for example, whether more doctors are needed at the healthcare units, whether there are medications, among other things.
The same study also evaluated four of Rio de Janeiro's medical schools and identified only two adapted for persons with disabilities. These findings were presented at the 15th Bioethics National Conference held in Portugal in 2018. The 2016 proposal also led to inclusion of the matter in the current Code of Medical Ethics.
