Children’s Health Rights and HIV/AIDS
The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), which South Africa ratified in 1995, says the State has a duty to:
- Recognise the right of the child to the highest possible standard of health
- Take steps to lower infant and child mortality, ensure that all children receive necessary medical assistance and health care, and ensure suitable pre-natal and post-natal care for mothers.
