By advocating for their rights and facilitating access to disability services, we empower individuals to live fulfilling and independent lives.
Raising Awareness & Education:
UEG recognizes the importance of raising awareness and educating both the refugee community and healthcare professionals about the unique healthcare needs and cultural considerations of individuals from refugee backgrounds. Through workshops, information sessions, and collaborative initiatives, we foster a better understanding among healthcare providers, enabling them to deliver culturally sensitive care and support.
Amplifying Voices & Advocating for Policy Change:
UEG actively engages in advocacy at the policy level to drive systemic change and address healthcare disparities. We collaborate with government bodies, policymakers, and community organizations to raise awareness of the challenges faced by refugees in accessing healthcare and advocate for policy reforms. By amplifying the voices of the refugee community, we strive to create lasting, positive changes that benefit all individuals.
