The Committee recommends to the Government of the Republic of The Sudan to put in place a system for gathering data on disabled children, disaggregated by type and nature of disability. It recommends that the Government of the Republic of The Sudan to take measures in synergy with civil society organizations to sensitize the populations on the rights of disabled children and combat any form of discrimination directed against them. The Committee proposes to the Government of the Republic of The Sudan to adopt a policy for educational and social integration of children with disabilities and facilitate their movement to anywhere they may want to access (access ramps during construction of public buildings). It recommends that the Government of the Republic of The Sudan establish specialized institutions with devices and equipment appropriate for education and rehabilitation of disabled children. Article 14: HEALTH AND HEALTH SERVICES The Committee is gratified that the Constitution of the Republic of The Sudan upholds the right of the child to medical care, infant and maternal protection and promotion of gender equality. It is also gratified that the Child Act provides for maternity leave, breast feeding hours, vaccination and other rights aimed at improving the health condition of children, and for a policy to promote maternal and infant health services. However, all these measures have not been effective due to the weakness of human resources and institutional capacities as well as inadequate financial allocation. The Committee notes with concern that, despite the efforts deployed to halt the propagation of HIV/AIDS virus, the prevalence rate has continued to surge. It also notes that the number of children suffering from serious malnutrition is on sharp increase. The Committee recommends to the Government of the Republic of The Sudan to provide the key basic health services such as vaccination, nutrition and ante-natal care in all the health structures of the country. It proposes to the Government of the Republic of The Sudan to continue with the awareness-raising actions so as to reduce the prevalence of HIV/AIDS. 4
