CRC/C/BGD/CO/4 page 14 6. Basic health and welfare (arts. 6; 18, para. 3; 23; 24; 26; 27, paras. 1-3, of the Convention) Children with disabilities 57. While noting the different initiatives to ensure the equal rights of children with disabilities, the Committee notes difficulties in translating the policies into concrete actions and is concerned that children with disabilities, in particular girls, experience discrimination and prejudicial treatment throughout their development. Furthermore, the Committee is concerned that services for early detection of disabilities are inadequate. 58. The Committee recommends that the State party, taking into account article 23 of the Convention and general comment No. 9 (2006) on the Rights of Children with Disabilities, continue to protect and promote the rights of children with disabilities, and: (a) Take appropriate measures to implement the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities; (b) Make available reliable and disaggregated quality data on the extent and causes of disability; (c) in children; Institute measures and medical procedures for early detection of disabilities (d) Review the Policy for People with Disabilities (PWD) under consideration for approval and update the measures and actions needed for implementing a comprehensive policy for children with disabilities; (e) Ensure that the role and responsibilities of the National Foundation for Development of the Disabled under the Ministry of Social Welfare are clear, and facilitate coordination with other relevant ministries; (f) Undertake greater efforts to make available the necessary professional (i.e. disability specialists) and financial resources, especially at the local level, and to promote and expand community-based rehabilitation programmes, including parent support groups, to ensure that the rights of all children with disabilities are addressed. Health and health services 59. The Committee notes with appreciation the progress in child and maternal health including a reduction in the under-five mortality rate, increased measles coverage rate, and decreased underweight prevalence in children under five. Similarly, the Committee notes that access to safe drinking water for children and access to sanitation facilities have increased. Nonetheless, the Committee remains concerned that health improvements have not yet reached the most vulnerable children, that the neonatal mortality rate and child malnutrition rate are still very high and that the number of cases of preventable waterborne and communicable diseases still continues to be high. It also notes with concern the high incidence of child accidents and injuries, especially drowning, the growing inequity in access to health services and the dependence on donor funds for the procurement of vaccines.
