**4. Conclusions**

There are approximately one billion people with disabilities on the planet, most of whom lack access to medical care and RMP services. Because of this, these people have more problems achieving and maintaining an adequate level of autonomy and health. The deficit of RMP services hinders inclusion and participation in all aspects of life, leading to misery and poverty.

The processes and procedures employed in RMP are intended to allow people with disabilities to achieve and maintain an optimal level of physical, sensory, intellectual, psychological, social, and spiritual performance. RMP encompasses a wide range of therapeutic possibilities, some with scientific evidence and others with less scientific evidence, but widely used by the world population and with wide acceptance. The WHO has been recommending for decades that all available therapeutic resources should be used and that research is continued for their validation [23].

Persons with disabilities should have access to general medical care and adequate RMP services.

The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities states that countries must ensure that persons with disabilities have access to appropriate health services, including general health care and RF services, and do not suffer discrimination in the provision of health services. WHO actively supports the application of the Convention, having ratified it in successive meetings with representatives of member countries.
