Enjoyment of the rights to health and adequate housing by migrants 2010, para. 34
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Regrettably, there are vast discrepancies between international human rights norms and their actual implementation in the field of health care for migrant children, whether these children are in regular or irregular situations, accompanied or unaccompanied. Inadequate care has long-lasting consequences on a child's development; for this reason, and in the light of the State duty to protect the most vulnerable, access to health care for migrant children should be made an urgent priority.
Legal status
