E/C.12/MDA/CO/2 intrusive and irreversible treatments such as neuroleptic drugs and electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). In addition, the Committee recommends that existing legal provisions allowing for the complete removal or suspension of legal capacity for persons with mental, intellectual or other disabilities be amended in order to avoid abuse. Furthermore, the Committee recommends that provisions for assisted decision-making be developed and implemented without delay. 25. The Committee is concerned that children suffering from epilepsy receive psychiatric treatment, often from a very early age, and that there is an absence of social programmes to support their parents. The Committee is also concerned that children suffering from autism are reportedly not provided with psychological treatment and special supportive programmes (art. 12). The Committee recommends that the State party ensure that children with epilepsy receive adequate treatment carried out only by neuropaediatric physicians. The Committee further recommends that children with autism are provided with necessary psychological treatment and special supportive programmes. The Committee also recommends that families taking care of children with autism receive adequate psychological and other appropriate support. 26. The Committee remains concerned about the high rate of infant mortality in the State party, particularly as a result of the failure to provide urgent medical assistance, especially in rural areas (art. 12). The Committee recommends that the State party adopt urgent and effective measures addressing the high rate of infant mortality, in particular in rural areas. The Committee recommends that such measures include improving the availability and accessibility of medical assistance for the entire population, in particular through family doctors in rural villages. 27. The Committee is concerned that a special course on sexual and reproductive health rights (called the Life Skills course) has been withdrawn from the curriculum in public schools, and that at present there is no such course being offered in public schools (art. 12). The Committee recommends that the implementation of the National Reproductive Health Strategy 2005-2015 include education in the school curriculum on sexual and reproductive rights. 28. The Committee is concerned that enrolment rates in primary and secondary education are decreasing. The Committee is also concerned about the quality of education, and that efforts are lacking to alleviate the negative impact of indirect and informal costs for the access to education, especially within inadequately funded primary schools in rural areas. It is also concerned that children with disabilities often do not attend mainstream schools or classes, even in cases in which the nature of the disability would not preclude regular education. The Committee is furthermore concerned that children without any disability are often placed in auxiliary schools, reportedly accounting for as much as 40 per cent of enrolment. Furthermore, the Committee is concerned that children accompanying their parents and placed in the Migrants Accommodation Centre in Chisinau do not have access to education (arts. 13 and 14). The Committee recommends that the State party take measures to counter the decreasing enrolment rates in primary and secondary education, and reiterates its previous recommendation urging the State party to reinforce its efforts to 7
