Why does Iran's infant health rights reach an astonishing level of 96.5%?
Iran's health situation has attracted global attention, especially when it comes to infant health rights, where the country has achieved an astonishing 96.5%. This number places the country at the forefront of global health rights indicators, and the factors and challenges behind this deserve further exploration. Iran's achievements in the field of infant health mainly come from multiple aspects, including public health policies, medical resource allocation and disease prevention measures, which together contribute to such a high health index.
Infant health policy and practice
According to data from the Initiative for Human Rights Measurement (IHRM), Iran’s realization of health rights has reached 88.6%. When it comes to children's health, this figure rises significantly to 96.5%. One of the driving forces behind this is the Iranian government's health policies, especially medical services for pregnant mothers and newborns.
Iran's government not only provides free childhood vaccinations, but also supports mothers' health care programs during pregnancy.
Availability of medical resources
Iran's medical resources are already relatively accessible relative to its level of economic development. Access to medical services is relatively high in major cities and rural areas, especially in terms of vaccinations and regular health checkups for infants. These measures not only reduced mortality but also improved infant survival rates.
Water source and sanitation issues
Despite the challenges of insufficient water resources and improper wastewater treatment, approximately 92% of the population has access to safe drinking water. This helps reduce the risk of hygiene-related diseases to a great extent, further promoting the health of infants and young children.
Nutrition and Food Safety
Undernutrition remains a problem, especially in some provinces, but the government works to improve food safety and nutrition education. Although reports indicate that approximately 45 million Iranians are undernourished, policy interventions are beginning to work.
With the deepening understanding of healthy food, Iran's eating habits have gradually improved, and more families are choosing healthy diets.
Disease prevention and control
The prevention of childhood diseases is a priority for the Iranian government. With an effective immunization program, most infants receive the necessary vaccines, which can effectively reduce the incidence of infectious diseases. Especially in recent years, with the continuous improvement of medical facilities, infant health has been significantly enhanced.
Family Planning and Childbirth Policy
Iran's family planning policy is also improving infant health. Birth control measures introduced in the country have successfully reduced the birth rate, which means that each mother can devote more resources and attention to her child, further promoting infant health.
Challenges and future prospects
Despite significant achievements, Iran still faces challenges in realizing the full right to health. For example, compared with adults, reproductive health rights are still insufficient, with only about 70.6% of expectations being met. This points to the need for more efforts in areas such as reproductive health, women's health and mental health.
In the future, how to ensure that all babies and their mothers have equal opportunities for health will be a major task.
Conclusion
Iran’s astonishing achievements in infant health rights not only reflect the efficiency of its medical system and the success of its policies, but also remind us of the obstacles that need to be overcome to face the prospect of health rights on a global scale. Iran's current performance provides an example of whether it can be successfully replicated in other countries. How should the global community respond to and improve the challenges of health rights in the future?
