The National Assembly of Vietnam enacted a National Disability Law in June 2010 that guarantees the rights of persons with disabilities for the first time in the nation's history. The legislation strives to be inclusive of persons with disabilities by providing Vietnamese with disabilities equal access in an array of areas, including education, employment, health care, information technology, public places, & transportation. The National Disability Law is the result of twelve years of piecemeal legislation that began with the National Ordinance on People with Disabilities in 1998. Twelve years later Vietnam passed the comprehensive legislation, which is one of the most inclusive national legislation packages for persons with disabilities in the world.
