One such population which suffers the agony of both health and oral health problems are the disabled population. Methodology: SWOT analysis done. Results: Only two government health schemes are available for differently abled population, among these two, only one (Niramaya Scheme) offers insurance for oral health. Conclusion: There is an urgent need to evaluate these two schemes and bring about an appropriate integrated health scheme for the differently abled.
