Making Pakistan a wheel chair friendly country

There were an estimated 3.28 million people with disabilities in Pakistan according to the 1998 census and the number has grown significantly in the last decade.
Unfortunately, wheel chair friendly environment is not available in Pakistan which adds to the misery of the sufferers.
Patients with mobility impairments often face challenges in visiting their family physicians owing to the physical barriers within medical buildings and offices, including the lack of ramps, grab bars, height-adjustable examination and imaging tables, and inadequate space within which to maneuver a wheelchair or to transfer to an examination table

Parking
Buildings should have designated parking spots located close to the building entrance for use by persons with disabilities. These spaces, as well as parking metres or pay stations, must be accessible to wheelchair users.

Entrance
A ramp with railings or an elevating lift is required when a main building entrance is not at ground level. Doors to enter the building and office should be equipped with automatic door openers, and the width should be adequate to accommodate a wheelchair or scooter (approximately 37.5 inches).

Washroom
Public places & hospitals should have accessible washrooms and appropriate signs to indicate their location. Accessible washroom facilities include sufficient space for turning and transferring, grab bars, and emergency call bells. Sinks, mirrors, and soap and paper towel dispensers should all be at a wheelchair-accessible height.
