15 October – International white cane day


The Institute of Public Health proudly expresses its support and solidarity with all persons with visual impairments. The white cane is not just an assistive tool—it is a symbol of independence, dignity, and the opportunity for full participation in society.

Today, we call for:

·         Increased public awareness of the rights and needs of blind and visually impaired persons

·         Ensuring access to adequate assistive devices and training for independent mobility

·         Promoting public spaces, traffic systems, and infrastructure that are inclusive and accessible

Together, we can create a society where everyone has equal opportunities for health, mobility, and a dignified life.
