Under a series titled  ‘Lest We Forget’, Vidhi is running a series of projects to derive key  learnings as to what should be the most appropriate response to different\n2\nfacets of a public health emergency like the COVID-19 pandemic.

The DEPwD was  directed to then place comprehensive proposals before the Ministry of  Health and Family Welfare. The Secretary in the Ministry of Health and  Family Welfare was mandated to take a considered view of such proposals and take a decision on whether any modification or changes are  required to make the existing framework of vaccination for PwDs more  effective.\n3. Vidhi has entered into a collaboration with the National Centre for  Promotion of Employment of Disabled People (“NCPEDP”) to assess  access to healthcare services for PwDs during the pandemic.The project  analyses the following issues:\na.
