The rights of children to health care
Article Abstract:
International organizations, led by the United Nations Children's Emergency Fund, underscore the need to address children's health problems. Negligence of the health during the formative years could produce life-long deleterious effect on a person's quality of life. Despite the numerous pronouncements made by international organizations on children's health care, malnutrition still leads among the causes of infant mortality around the world. Governments are duty bound to address these problems, as well as children's rights to dignified and humane treatment.
