An accessible website is a site that allows people with disabilities and older adults to browse with the same level of efficiency and enjoyment as all users. Approximately 20% to 25% of the population encounter difficulties using the internet and could benefit from more accessible internet content, according to a study conducted by Microsoft in 2003.

Nargis Medical Center Ltd. believes in and works towards equal opportunities in the online space for people with various disabilities and/or those who rely on assistive technologies for computer use.

The logo is placed on websites that have undergone the necessary adjustments to make them accessible to people with disabilities.
