A/HRC/RES/22/32 III. Measures for implementation Health system strengthening 44. Recognizes that the effective and financially sustainable implementation of universal health coverage is based on a resilient and responsive health system that provides comprehensive primary health-care services, with extensive geographical coverage, including in remote and rural areas, and with special emphasis on access to populations most in need, and has an adequate skilled, well-trained and motivated workforce, as well as capacities for broad public health measures, health protection and addressing determinants of health through policies across sectors, including promoting the health literacy of the population; 45. Acknowledges that universal health coverage implies that all children have access, without discrimination, to nationally determined sets of the needed promotive, preventive, curative and rehabilitative basic health services and essential, safe, affordable, effective and quality medicines, while ensuring that the use of these services does not expose the users to financial hardship, with special emphasis on the poor, vulnerable and marginalized segments of the population; 46. Recognizes the responsibility of Governments to urgently and significantly scale up efforts to accelerate the transition towards universal access to affordable and quality health-care services; 47. Also recognizes the need to regularly collect, analyse and share disaggregated data on children’s health at the subnational, national, regional and global levels; Accountability 48. Encourages States to strengthen and harmonize monitoring systems in order to report regularly on the implementation of the right of the child to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health in their periodic reports to human rights treaty bodies, including the Committee on the Rights of the Child and the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, and in the context of their review under the universal periodic review mechanism of the Human Rights Council; 49. Urges States to consider implementing the recommendations made by the Commission on Information and Accountability for Women’s and Children’s Health to improve the accountability of results and resources, including by strengthening the accountability mechanisms for health in their own countries; strengthening their capacity to monitor, including utilizing local evidence, and evaluate progress to improve their own performance; and contributing to the strengthening and harmonization of existing international mechanisms to track progress on all commitments made; 50. Encourages the implementation of rights-based budget monitoring and analysis for expenditure on children in general, especially child health, as well as child impact assessments on how investments, particularly in the health sector, may serve the best interests of the child; 51. Recommends that consideration be given to including universal health coverage in the discussions on the post-2015 development agenda in the context of the global health challenge, and stresses the need for better coordination among accountability and monitoring mechanisms for the realization of the right of the child to the highest attainable standard of health; 52. Encourages States to work towards the development, strengthening, implementation and promotion, as appropriate, of effective legislation or regulatory mechanisms to mitigate the potential adverse impact of business activities on children, 11
