The right to the highest attainable standard of health (Art. 12) 2000, para. 20
Párrafo
Paragraph text
The Committee recommends that States integrate a gender perspective in their health related policies, planning, programmes and research in order to promote better health for both women and men. A gender-based approach recognizes that biological and socio-cultural factors play a significant role in influencing the health of men and women. The disaggregation of health and socio-economic data according to sex is essential for identifying and remedying inequalities in health.
