Details	According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the number of people living with disabilities exceeds one billion or about 15% of the world's population (the estimated global population in 2010). This rate is a higher than the previous estimate made by the World Health Organization in 1970 (10%). The number of people with disabilities in the Republic of Kazakhstan as of 1 January 2011 has been 506,400, including 45,800 disabled children. The number of disabled people with respect to the total population of the country is equal to 2.9%. According to the results of a retrospective analysis of the reports of the medico-social expertise made in the East Kazakhstan oblast, the greatest number of children with disabilities at the age up to 18 was in 2008, when this number amounted to 599 children (Intensive index-15,9), of which children with disabilities under the age of 16 amounted to 559 in the same year, and the largest number of disabled children at the age 16 to 18 was in 2006, when their number was 46. The structure of primary disability among children up to the age of 18 from 2008 to 2010 on the East Kazakhstan oblast looks as follows: first rank has been occupied by congenital malformations, deformations and chromosomal abnormalities, illnesses of the nervous system rank second, and psychic and behavioral disorder third.
