People with disabilities in Africa face significant, multifaceted barriers in accessing equitable healthcare. Structural, economic, attitudinal, and systemic challenges often lead to poorer health outcomes and exclusion from essential services. This article provides an evidence-based review of these barriers, explores recent innovations, includes data visualizations on healthcare access, and offers policy recommendations for a more inclusive health system across the continent.
