Older people with disabilities in Karamoja face a range of disability-specific challenges in their abilities to perceive, seek, reach and engage with health care. This study adds useful context to the population-based survey conducted in Karamoja in 2023 and demonstrates how the positive deviance approach can be helpful in identifying strategies to improve access where little or no evidence currently exists
