Accessibility

What we’ve done

• Skip-to-content link on every page.
• Visible focus rings (focus-visible) on every interactive element.
• Form labels paired with controls (htmlFor / id) on every input.
• Semantic HTML throughout: main, nav, article, aside, section landmarks.
• Colour contrast verified at AA at default theme; dark theme auditing in progress.
• Keyboard reachability for tooltips and menus.
• aria-live regions for dynamic state changes (verification wizard progress, etc.).
• Browser-native zoom support up to 200% without horizontal scrolling.

Known gaps

• Map components (clinic location maps) require interaction with the underlying Leaflet API; alternative text views of the same data are provided alongside.
• RTL layout is scaffolded but not yet end-to-end tested with native Arabic / Hebrew users.
• Audio playback uses browser-native voices; voice quality varies by operating system.

Last automated audit

Lighthouse Accessibility ≥95 on the homepage, clinic detail, procedure detail, country detail, and tools index pages. Manual AT testing (NVDA, VoiceOver, TalkBack) is conducted on a quarterly cadence; results published in /changelog.
