CRC/C/15/Add.233 page 9 6. Basic health and welfare Children with disabilities 41. The Committee welcomes the establishment of the National Council for Comprehensive Care of Disabled Minors and the executive decree establishing regulations for the inclusive education of individuals with special education needs. But it expresses concern about the lack of detailed statistical information, and that the children with disabilities living in indigenous rural areas do not have adequate access to services such as health and education. The Committee is also concerned at the lack of information on the integration of children with disabilities in different sectors such as education, sports and socio-cultural activities. 42. The Committee recommends that the State party, taking into account the United Nations Standard Rules on the Equalization of Opportunities for Persons with Disabilities (General Assembly resolution 48/96) and the recommendations adopted by the Committee at its day of general discussion on the rights of children with disabilities (see CRC/C/69), ensure adequate collection of statistical information, pay special attention to children with disabilities in rural and indigenous areas and take all necessary measures to integrate children with disabilities in mainstream schools, social/cultural activities and sports. Health and health services 43. The Committee welcomes the considerable reduction in levels of child mortality and the eradication of several communicable diseases, but is concerned that this progress has not been accompanied by a similar reduction in the rate of maternal mortality and that there is a significant discrepancy in the mortality indicators between urban and rural areas. The Committee is concerned that breastfeeding is not widely used. 44. The Committee strongly recommends that the State party continue to strengthen its efforts in health reform, in particular with regard to primary health care, ensuring accessibility of quality health care in all areas in the country, including far-reaching programmes, training of local villagers in safe midwifery and providing adequate prenatal care. The Committee further recommends that the State party encourage exclusive breastfeeding for six months after birth, with the addition of an appropriate infant diet thereafter. Adolescent health 45. While noting the legislation (e.g. Law 29 on the health and education of pregnant teenagers, 2002) on the protection of pregnant teenagers and the programme on responsible parents, the Committee is concerned at the high prevalence of teenage pregnancies and STIs and at the lack of significant measures taken to prevent these problems. The Committee is further concerned at the lack of adequate programmes for reproductive health, sex education, family planning and mental health.
