Abstract

The realization of the child’s right to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health is basic for his/her personal development. However, in spite of the achievements since the Child Rights Covenant was in force, many millions children’s right to health continues being violated. The future development agenda, post-ODM, must take into account seriously this right as a condition for the feasibility of the development processes.
