Accessibility is an integral part of our mandate. We want to make sure that our digital offerings can be used by everyone. We can thus ensure equal access to information and services – irrespective of individual capabilities or technical requirements.

The Global Health Hub Germany is committed to making its website, www.globalhealthhub.de, accessible, or as accessible as possible, to all users. The website is designed to comply with the national legislation implementing Directive (EU) 2016/2102 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the accessibility of the websites and mobile applications of public sector bodies.

BITV 2.0 (German Directive for Accessible Information Technology)

• German Equality for Persons with Disabilities Act (Behindertengleichstellungsgesetz, BGG)
• EU-Directive 2016/2102 (accessible websites of public sector bodies)

The website is compatible with the requirements. Extensive measures have been taken; however, barriers currently still exist in some areas, and we are already working to remedy them.

• Automated checks (Wave, Axe-core 4.10.3, Google Lighthouse)
• Individual checks by experts

• Alternative text has not yet been provided for all images
• PDF documents and other documents do not meet the WCAG/PDF accessibility standards
• There may be partially limited keyboard operability (e.g. for complex forms or interactive graphics
• Subtitles are not available for all videos
• A plain-language version of the website is not available
