Abstract
Cameroon has enacted local instruments in line with international commitments so as realize the Availability, Accessibility, Acceptability and Quality (AAAQ) framework on the rights to access healthcare for Persons with Disability (PWD). But the lived reality by many PWDs is one of persistent barriers and profound disparities in accessing essential health services. Adopting a qualitative research methodology, this paper investigates the compliance with the AAAQ framework by Cameroonian law and concludes that there is a disconnect between statutory provisions and practical access to healthcare for PWDs. It recommends inter aliar a substantial increase in financial investment in disability-inclusive healthcare and other targeted policy interventions to achieve compliance with the AAAQ framework.
