The health and well-being of a child is one of the most important laws, although some people ignore them. Here is what the Child Protection Act says in its title about the health and well-being of the child.
Placing the child in an institution where he must be treated
A child with a special physical or mental disability is placed in a special institution for care and treatment.
The government guarantees to start orphans and other children without health insurance. Children’s lack of treatment is confirmed by the local level. The order of the Minister who has children in his attribution determines how this article is enforced.
Measures to protect the child’s health
The government takes all the necessary measures to ensure that the child has the full right to good health, paying particular attention to the development of basic health care.
The government is doing everything possible to protect children from diseases and treat them. It also establishes a national immunization system for children, against malnutrition, and establishes appropriate guidelines for the quality control of baby food and safe water.
The parent, guardian of the child and any other person must refrain from giving him, selling him, giving him alcoholic drinks and other drugs and using him in any commercial place.
Anyone who spends a holiday with children should avoid alcohol and other drugs.
A child is also prohibited from entering any place where alcoholic beverages are sold and consumed unaccompanied. He is also prohibited from entering dance halls that contain alcoholic beverages and other drugs even if he is accompanied. Those who violate the provisions of paragraphs 3 and 4 of this article shall be punished according to the criminal law.
