ABUSE OF THE RIGHT OF HEALTH OF THE VULNERABLE GROUPS. Right to Health is synonymous with Right to life, that is why various International Instruments especially ICESCR provided for Right to highest attainable standard of physical and mental health (Article 12) to all persons including children, physically challenged and older persons. The Covenant requires countries to create "conditions which would ensure that all medical services and medical attention are made available in the event of sickness." For older person integrated approach, combining of preventive, curative and rehabilitative health treatment has been recommended by the U.N Committee, while for persons with disabilities both the Public and Private Health Sectors are enjoined to provide health services to them without discrimination. Unfortunately, the Rights to Health of the vulnerable groups appears to be only on paper especially in Sub-Sahara Africa like Nigeria which has the highest maternal mortality rate in the world i.e. 1050 deaths per every 100,000 live birth and also has the second to the highest record of Infant mortality rate in the world. In Nigeria the Health Budget is in most cases half of the Defence Budget which is a non productive sector. This shows how unserious the policy makers take the health of its citizens. www.livingwaterfoundationministries.org
