A report published by the World Health Organisation and World Bank last year - "World Report on Disability" - estimated that over one billion people around the world live with a disability, with almost 80% of these living in low-income countries. Health costs associated with living with a disability tend to be higher, with a 50% greater chance of incurring huge health costs, which in many cases can be enough to push people below the poverty line.
