Health and health services 58. The Committee welcomes the successful establishment, in collaboration with United Nations agencies and other donors, of an Expanded Programme of Immunization, which has resulted in a considerable increase of immunization coverage. The Committee also notes with appreciation that the State party, supported by UNICEF, has produced a national nutrition strategy which identifies the underlying causes of malnutrition. In spite of these positive developments, the Committee is concerned about the high level of child malnutrition, the very high rates of infant and child mortality as well as maternal mortality, and the inadequate adolescent health care in the State party. In addition, the high vulnerability of Timorese children to illnesses such as malaria, measles, typhoid and dengue fever and to respiratory and gastrointestinal infections also gives cause for concern. 59. The Committee recommends that the State party: (a) Design a health policy based on a community structure to ensure that mothers and children in all areas of the country have access to quality primary health care, counselling and essential medicines; (b) Ensure that appropriate resources are allocated for the health sector and develop and implement comprehensive policies and programmes for improving the health situation of children; (c) Continue to take measures to reduce infant and under-5 mortality, inter alia, by guaranteeing access to quality pre- and post-natal health services and facilities, including training programmes of midwives and traditional birth attendants; (d) Strengthen efforts to improve the nutritional status of children, on the basis of the national nutrition strategy, through education and promotion of healthy feeding practices, including through promoting breastfeeding as an unequalled way of providing ideal food for the health, growth and development of children, in line with the International Code of Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes; (e) Make increased efforts to provide effective services for the promotion of adolescent health, including reproductive health;
