“We are fortunate that the laws in Bahrain protect persons with disabilities and provide adequate care; an area of improvement lies in applying the preexisting laws into action. For the needs of those with disabilities to be met in Bahrain, it would require a collaborative effort between persons with disabilities, various stakeholders, the larger community, the government, and the private sector. The solution lies in the efforts of everyone in a society coming together, for an initiative cannot come to fruition without the aid of everyone in the community; solutions need collective action.”

Dr. Riyadh ALMarzooq, Chairman of the Bahraini Catalyst for Disabilities Association
