Child Rights, Equality, Human Rights, and Ethical Issues in Healthcare

Introduction:
Children rights play a very important part they are passive objects of care and charity
who are entitled to enjoyment of specific rights accordance with their needs. They are on a
vigorous state of growth and more exposed to environment. Also, being the very innocent
creature of this beautiful world from birth enjoy certain rights and have full right to endowed
them. Being a child they have their full right of equal access to education regardless of the
child’s gender, race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, disability, parentage, sexual orientation or
another status also they have priority based on government beneficiary budget decision
affecting children and their best interest, a child with a disability should have effective access
to education and health care to achieve their full potential (Bouffard, Berger & Armstrong,
2016). Child’s alliance improves the life of children by birth.
Based on the case study I am preparing my report on the following factor
Equality- The possibility of intensified surveillance of those individuals whose profiles are
retained on forensic databases, as potential suspects, leads to the possibility of increased
social exclusion of certain groups, such as young males and black ethnic minorities, who are
disproportionately represented on the NDNAD (Karnik & Kanekar, 2016). An important
issue to be considered is whether this disproportionality is a reflection of police arrest, charge
and cautioning processes, or other social or institutional factors, or whether it is a result of an
inherent bias in the NDNAD (Karnik & Kanekar, 2016). Police powers to take and retain
biological samples and the resulting DNA profiles may aggravate social tensions by
discriminating against those who live in police ‘hot-spots’ or belong to groups more likely
than others to be targeted by police (Bouffard, Berger & Armstrong, 2016).
Human rights- Rights such as privacy and equality were not entrenched in law in the United
Kingdom until relatively recently. The classical British view, until at least the mid-20th
Century, was that personal liberty is protected from arbitrary interference by the supremacy

of Parliament and the rule of law (Reid, 2017). According to this view, the despotic
government is prevented by the balance between the Executive, Parliament and an
independent judiciary that carries out the will of the elected Parliament. The judge-made
principles of private law, such as trespass to the person (e.g. taking a body sample without
consent), were applied by the courts to the police and public authorities in the same way as
they were applied to the human (Reid, 2017).
Ethical issues in healthcare ; balancing care quality and efficiency; improving access to care;
building and sustaining the healthcare workforce of the future; addressing end of life issues;
allocating limited medications and donor organs
Malawi legal health commission:
The Malawi Human Rights Commission (MHRC), set up under Human Rights Act
1998, is mandated to investigate and help prosecute human rights violations and, where
necessary, to use the courts as mechanisms for redress. Between 1999 and 2007, the MHRC
received close to 91 human rights violation cases from the MoEST (Amaral & Cuthbertson,
2016). Of these, 57 were resolved by the Commission and the rest referred to courts and other
channels, including school management committees or the parent-teacher associations.
Although the MHRC faces challenges of funding, it is a critical partner to the MoEST in
helping to realise every Malawian’s right to education. It would be advantageous to the
government if the Commission were funded and started sufficiently to achieve its objectives
(V. Doctor & Nkhana-Salimu, 2017). Malawi, home to 6.8 million children (51 percent of the
total population), presents a number of opportunities and challenges for its youngest citizens
and their families. The prospects for child survival have improved over the past few years:
prudent economic management, stable macroeconomic conditions, and increasing agricultural
production are helping to reduce poverty and hunger, and Malawi's, therefore; there are some

ethical obligations at some level for instance; do well; avoid doing harm; respect patient
autonomy; treat patient equitable (Bandawe, 2010).
Amos’s violation of rights and privilege were as however he is the student of the school he
was refused to get medical emergency as the other kids because of which he lost his life but
kids were on the medical part of the same. The school authority held liable for refusing him
and violating his right to equality and hospital being liable for infringement of the right to get
medical aid as others, therefore, Transparency in dealings will always help in litigation
(Babad & Lubitch, 2011). As the medical fraternity is not used to detail record keeping,
doubts do arise in the course of legal proceedings. Hospitals and doctors may be held
negligent or otherwise based on the facts and circumstances even in the absence of conclusive
evidence; discrimination between day scholar and hostel kids; right to equality; right to get
medical treatment (Milanzi & Namacha, 2017).
Amos being the sufferer and many more other kids who died before of the same reason can
avail and adapt some remedy and can cure their life being no more a victim although the
parents can use these cures are as follows:
Avail the services of a good lawyer. The doctor and /or hospital are entitled to engage the
services of a lawyer to represent them in the matter (Babad & Lubitch, 2011).
The timely filing of a written statement, affidavit, and all other documents as required. It is
important to properly maintain case history, clinical records, affidavit of all the treating
doctors, X-rays, laboratory test results, etc. which will be of immense help in supporting the
doctor's claim (Milanzi & Namacha, 2017).
