Abstract

The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child recognizes the right of the child to the highest attainable standard of health, and to treatment of illness and rehabilitation. There are very great differences in access to health care, including preventive medicine such as immunization, and adequate nutrition, between countries in the developed and developing world. These particularly affect children in war zones and in countries affected by sanctions. Developed countries are not perfect; many children in the United States are not fully immunized, and in Sweden hidden refugees and disabled children receive sub‐standard care.
