Right to health in early childhood - Right to survival and development 2015, para. 54
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Since the adoption of the Convention in 1989, there has been increasing evidence of "new morbidities" in childhood related to the understanding that physical and mental health in early childhood are affected by the environment, including relationships within the family, the community and the broader society. This understanding has led to positioning developmental and behavioural issues becoming central components of modern paediatrics.
