Accessibility Audit for Health Centres
The accessibility assessment format for Health Centres is a checklist that can be used to assess the accessibility in health facilities. The checklist covers the following domains:
- Getting to the health centre
- Getting into the premises/buildings
- Getting around the premises
- Using the services and facilities
- Getting out of the premises
- Management of the premises
How to use it
Ideally the accessibility audit is done with a mixed team consisting of an experienced accessibility auditor, health care staff/management and persons with disabilities who bring in their personal experiences. Doing the audit together will create ownership and commitment for improving accessibility at the premises.
How it was developed
Adapted from existing accessibility checklists.
Extra suggestion
Sight Savers International has developed a complete package to audit the accessibility of health services. The Sightsavers’ accessibility standards and audit pack offers guidance to governments, healthcare providers and other organisations on how to improve healthcare facilities in low-and-middle income settings.
