In his presentation, Dr André den Exter will discuss access to healthcare for disabled persons.
On different occasions, the European Court of Human Rights has dealt with access to healthcare issues, notably concerning vulnerable groups like disabled persons. Although not explicitly recognized under the Convention, implicitly, the Court has applied individual rights, creating positive state obligations under the Convention. During this session, I will explain the meaning of those so-called positive state obligations to CoE member states, focussing on disabled persons.
