HR 8829 United States House · 119th Congress

Reproductive Health Care Accessibility Act

The Reproductive Health Care Accessibility Act aims to improve access to reproductive health services for individuals with disabilities by addressing barriers such as inaccessible facilities and a lack of provider training. The bill authorizes funding for several programs designed to train healthcare professionals on disability-inclusive care and to expand the workforce of doctors, nurses, and students with disabilities in reproductive health fields. Additionally, it establishes a National Technical Assistance Center to offer resources and best practices to healthcare providers and communities, while also funding research to better understand and eliminate systemic obstacles to care. These measures collectively seek to ensure that people with disabilities receive equitable, culturally competent, and accessible reproductive health services.
