Measures to prevent disease and enhance rehabilitation services among approved regulations

Special education tops the agenda for two recently-approved regulations that also target improving disease prevention measures and rehabilitation services for the estimated 85 million people with disabilities in China.

An executive meeting of the State Council, presided over by Premier Li Keqiang on Jan 11, approved a new regulation on prevention and rehabilitation for people with disabilities, as well as a draft amendment on the regulation on education, which was promulgated in 1994, according to a statement released after the meeting.
