Abstract

Children's right to health includes healthy living conditions as well as healthcare. For this reason, article 24 and related articles in the United Nations' Convention on the Rights of the Child could provide a useful balance for the overemphasis on clinical medicine in Canada's health system - that is, if we take children's right to health seriously.
