LHASA, Oct. 1 (Xinhua) — Southwest China's Xijiang Autonomous Region has allocated a total of 690 million yuan (about 96.9 million U.S. dollars) to fund subsidies for low-income and severely disabled people with disabilities from 2021 to 2025, local authorities said.
The regional disability care and support center, which opened in 2021, currently has 82 beds and serves 75 people, providing 24-hour comprehensive care for people with severe disabilities in the region, said Xie Qing, a representative of the regional disability federation.
As of early May 2025, a total of 393 inpatient beds for care for people with disabilities had been created in the region. "The region has ensured the coverage of care and support facilities for people with disabilities at the county level, meeting the multi-layered and diverse needs of people with severe disabilities for centralized care," said Xie Qing.
By the end of 2024, there were seven special education schools in the region with 978 students enrolled, while 3,646 students with disabilities attended regular classes and 2,597 received home-based learning services.
In recent years, the region has been steadily improving its social security system and creating a barrier-free environment for people with disabilities, Xie Qing added. A total of 21,237 working-age people with disability certificates have found employment in the region. -0-
