The right of the child to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health 2013, para. 94
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- The Convention requires States parties to adopt all appropriate legislative, administrative and other measures for the implementation of children's right to health without discrimination. National laws should place a statutory obligation on the State to provide the services, programmes, human resources and infrastructure needed to realize children's right to health and provide a statutory entitlement to essential, child sensitive, quality health and related services for pregnant women and children irrespective of their ability to pay. Laws should be reviewed to assess any potential discriminatory effect or impediment to realizing children's right to health and repealed where required. Where necessary, international agencies and donors should provide development aid and technical assistance for such legal reforms.
