Abstract
This qualitative research aimed to examine the perspectives of three key informant groups purposively selected from those who had direct experiences in receiving, providing medical rehabilitation services, and those responsible for development of related policy. The data were collected in May and June 2014 in three focus group discussions (FGDs) involving 11 representatives of persons with disability organizations, 13 service providers, and 16 executives and managers from respective policymaking authorities. Content analysis was introduced in the data analysis. The results showed that access to medical rehabilitation services including assistive devices among persons with disability (PWDs) was limited. This was because PWDs did not get the information on benefits and services provided in the public sector, and that most of them needed one or more accompanying persons when they travelled to receive services. Other impediments included inadequate service providers and the disparity, in terms of coverage and quality, of the information for PWDs disseminated by public agencies. The lack of effective system for assistive devices management was identified as crucial obstacle. It was agreed among FGD participants that health benefits for PWDs in the three governmentfinanced schemes were different resulted in unequal access to services and assistive devices. Moreover, when PWDs were employed by private business and therefore, transferred from the Universal Coverage Scheme to the Social Security Scheme (SSS), their health benefits would be diminished because the latter scheme covered fewer benefits than the former. To solve the problems as earlier mentioned, the FGD participants proposed: (1) the National Committee for Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities to develop mechanisms to strengthen the integration and collaborations of organizations that ensure quality of life of PWDs and allow PWD representatives to participate in every level of policy making decisions; (2) PWDs databases currently managed by different institutes be strengthened and integrated with each other; (3) increase the numbers of health providers for PWDs in particular areas of the country; and (4) reduce the disparity in health benefits by collectively develop a single benefit package for use in the three government schemes.
