The forum included four main themes (education, health, social empowerment, economic empowerment, and employment) and a discussion with specialists in the forum's themes. His excellency, the CEO of the Authority of People with Disability, Dr. Hisham Al-Haidary, stressed that the Authority aims to enhance services and establish arrangements that contribute to ensuring the integration of persons with disabilities in the labor market and society and enabling them to obtain their rights in education and health services.
