Lesotho has ratified the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. On the ground, day-to-day accessibility for stroke survivors is emerging and uneven. Pockets of accessibility exist in the capital; most of the country has little usable infrastructure.
This profile is modeled from income group, region and WHO indicators — the specific national disability statute has not been individually verified for Lesotho.
