Abstract

Children belonging to the Particularly Tribal Vulnerable group are extremely marginalized and experience severe health inequalities despite having Constitutional safeguards and a robust legal and policy framework. Geographical isolation, poverty, social and cultural barrier further dilute their health status. This article has been written mainly in a doctrinal approach where secondary sources like journal articles, government reports, policies and initiatives has been explored to examine National and International legal and policy frameworks of Right to Health of Children belonging to Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups in India to assess whether their rights are being realized. It further discusses implementation deficits of developmental schemes, barriers to healthcare accessibility and an absence of culturally inclusive and appropriate healthcare system among these groups. The article concludes that India is in need of legal health framework enforceable by Courts for the effective realization of Right to Health of Children belonging to Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups because child healthcare measures are grappling with severe implementation challenges which provides them with restricted access to quality healthcare services.
