This review was carried out to find out the types of national data available in the field of disability and to find out the possible methodology for establishing a disability surveillance system in Sri Lanka. Disability data differ from one data source to the other. Further, current disability data in Sri Lanka are non-comparable locally and internationally because they are not based on a scientific disability classification system. This highlights the great need of establishment of a national disability surveillance system based on scientific methods such as ICF.
