Santa Casa website awarded the Silver Seal for Usability and Accessibility
The initiative recognises the best practices established to ensure access and use by all users, particularly people with disabilities.
The Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Lisboa website has been awarded the Silver Seal for Usability and Accessibility, an accolade that recognises the application of best practice in these areas in the development of websites and mobile applications.
This Seal is an initiative of the Agency for State Technological Reform (ARTE) and the National Institute for Rehabilitation (INR), created to improve, simplify and make the use of online public services by citizens more efficient, particularly for people with disabilities or impairments.
Santa Casa’s current website went live in July this year and adheres to the latest recommendations, complying with the WCAG 2.2 AA guidelines and the European standard EN 301 549, and was developed in-house by the Directorate of Information Systems and Technologies (DISTI) to respond effectively to all users, whatever their specific needs may be, always in the spirit of inclusion.
