Kalyani Life Institute observed Intellectual Disabilities Day focussing on Health disparities

Kalyani Life Institute observed Intellectual Disabilities Day focussing on Health disparities.

People with intellectual disabilities as a group have higher rates of adverse health conditions such as epilepsy and neurological disorders, gastrointestinal disorders and behavioral/psychiatric problems compared to people without disabilities. 

Adults with intellectual disability have also higher prevalence of poor social determinants of health, behavioral risk factors, depression, diabetes, poor or fair health status than adults without intellectual disability.

In the UK, people with intellectual disability live on average 16 years less than the general population.

We have organised Health Camp with Homeopathic Doctors.

Beneficiaries also enjoyed different play activities today.
