Main Article Content
Abstract
Having a healthy life is the right of every human being. The State has to help people live a healthy life and support people suffering from any disease. In this article, the researcher focuses on one of the diseases called Hemophilia. Hemophilia is a bleeding and genetic disorder. It is included in the Rights of People with Disability Act, 2016. It is a highly neglected disease. There is no research from a legal perspective on this topic. This research paper will help understand hemophilia and gaps under the Rights of Persons with Disability Act, 2016. The researcher will analyse sections 25, 26 and 34 of the Act. After studying and analysing all these things, the researcher will apply the doctrinal method and examine some Conventions, Acts, Case Laws, etc. The researcher finds that these sections do not achieve the purpose of this Act or various conventions done to protect disabled people.
