Xizang sees steady growth in disability services
Southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region has allocated a total of 690 million yuan (about 96.9 million U.S. dollars) to fund the subsidies for disabled people with low income and severely disabled individuals for the period from 2021 to 2025, according to local authorities.
The regional disabled persons' care and support center, which opened in 2021, now has 82 care beds and serves 75 individuals, providing 24-hour full-time boarding and comprehensive life-cycle care for severely disabled individuals in the region, said Xie Qing, an official with the regional disabled persons' federation.
As of early May 2025, the region had established a total of 393 boarding care beds. "The region has achieved county-level coverage of care and support institutions for the disabled, meeting the multi-level and diverse centralized care needs of severely disabled individuals," Xie said.
