– the information and communication accessibility of health services to persons with sensory disabilities, primarily by ensuring the accessibility of information both in the Health Center and on official internet presentations, to enable full and timely information of these persons regarding the realization of the right to health care and the use of health services.

The Health Center will, within 30 days from the date of receipt of the recommendation of measures for achieving equality, inform the Commissioner for the Protection of Equality about the measures taken to implement this recommendation

No appeal or other legal remedy is allowed against this recommendation of measures following the law.
