Article 24 – Health and health services. The child has a right to the highest standard of health
and medical care attainable. States shall place special emphasis on the reduction of infant and
child mortality and on the provision of primary and preventive health care and of public health
education. They shall encourage international cooperation in this regard and strive to see that
no child is deprived of access to effective health services. Every child has the right to the best
possible health. Governments must provide good quality health care, clean water, nutritious
food, and a clean environment and education on health and well-being so that children can stay
healthy. Richer countries must help poorer countries achieve this.
