Free of Barriers
The MKH Bergisch Gladbach website is designed throughout in a barrier-free way.
Free of barriers means that even handicapped people (e.g. people with impaired eyesight or blind people) can use the MKH homepage without any restrictions or further help.
To guarantee an easy access we have programmed these pages without technical details that ask for graphic browsers to present the pages. Instead, we separated the content of the pages from the style of the presentation.
