无障碍地获得医疗保健是联合国《残疾人权利公约》明确规定的残疾人权利。本研究回顾了2000年至2015年关于聋人获得医疗保健的文献，揭示了与医疗服务提供者沟通的重大挑战以及聋人（包括那些边缘化风险更高的聋人）在全球健康知识方面的差距。讨论了改善获得医疗保健的方法的例子，例如通过使用手语提供强大的和视觉上无障碍的沟通，实施重要的通信技术，以及对卫生专业人员的文化意识培训。还介绍了提高聋人社区健康知识的方案和聋人初级卫生保健中心的模式。出版的文件可以使聋人有能力实现其享有能达到的最高标准健康的权利。
Access to health care without barriers is a clearly defined right of people with disabilities as stated by the UN Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities. The present study reviews literature from 2000 to 2015 on access to health care for deaf people and reveals significant challenges in communication with health providers and gaps in global health knowledge for deaf people including those with even higher risk of marginalization. Examples of approaches to improve access to health care, such as providing powerful and visually accessible communication through the use of sign language, the implementation of important communication technologies, and cultural awareness trainings for health professionals are discussed. Programs that raise health knowledge in Deaf communities and models of primary health care centers for deaf people are also presented. Published documents can empower deaf people to realize their right to enjoy the highest attainable standard of health.
