The unified disability assessment is not just an administrative reform, but a change that will enable persons with disabilities (PWDs) to have a fairer, more efficient and more dignified access to exercising their rights, said the Minister of Social Welfare, Family Care and Demography, Damir Gutić.

The Ministry of Social Welfare, Family Care and Demography said that during the session, special attention was paid to activities aimed at establishing the Institute for Unified Disability Expertise, as a central institution that will unify the expert assessment procedure and ensure equal criteria, uniform practice and greater efficiency in exercising the rights of persons with disabilities.

Gutić emphasized that a unified expert assessment represents one of the key reforms in the field of protection of the rights of persons with disabilities, aimed at creating a fairer, more efficient and more transparent system of exercising rights.

During the session, he presented the activities implemented in the previous period, including the adoption of the Regulation on the methodology of unified disability expertise, the adoption of the Rulebook on the manner of submitting and content of requests, the composition and manner of work of the commissions for unified disability expertise, including the formation of the Board of Directors and the appointment of the acting director of the Institute.

Gutić emphasized that the unified disability assessment is not just an administrative reform, but a change that will enable persons with disabilities to have a fairer, more efficient and more dignified approach to exercising their rights.

"We will continue to build a system based on equality, transparency and inter-institutional cooperation," Gutić said.
