Abstract
Disability is one of the key public health issues in India and the burden will increase given the trend of an aging population. People with disabilities experience greater vulnerability as they may develop secondary health issues. They face various barriers while accessing health services. This is a major ethical concern. In this article, we frame the barriers to healthcare provision to persons with disabilities and propose an ethical framework to address these barriers. This ethical framework is derived from the basic ethical principles of justice, fairness, trust, solidarity, stewardship, proportionality, and responsiveness. The framework proposes strategies to address these barriers to healthcare service delivery for persons with disabilities in India.
