India is a signatory to UN Convention on Child Rights but the allocation of funds and interventions to address health problems have been insufficient. A rights-based rather than a welfare approach is needed to realize child rights, of which health and education are crucial. The health needs of the newborn (survival), infant (vaccinations, nutrition) and preschool child (infections, development) require particular attention. Health care delivery systems should be made fully functional, programs properly implemented, and accountability ensured at all levels. Basic curative services must be provided free for all children. Functional health literacy should be provided to the underprivileged.
印度是《联合国儿童权利公约》的签署国，但用于解决健康问题的资金分配和干预措施一直不足。需要一种基于权利而非福利的方法来实现儿童权利，其中健康和教育至关重要。新生儿（生存）、婴儿（疫苗接种、营养）和学龄前儿童（感染、发育）的健康需求需要特别关注。应使医疗保健提供系统充分发挥功能，妥善实施各项计划，并确保各级的问责制。必须为所有儿童免费提供基本治疗服务。应为弱势群体提供实用的健康知识。
