The Human Rights Measurement Initiative[1] finds that Equatorial Guinea is fulfilling 43.5% of what it should be fulfilling for the right to health based on its level of income.[2] When looking at the right to health with respect to children, Equatorial Guinea achieves 64.4% of what is expected based on its current income.[3] In regards to the right to health amongst the adult population, the country achieves only 58.8% of what is expected based on the nation's level of income. [4] Equatorial Guinea falls into the "very bad" category when evaluating the right to reproductive health because the nation is fulfilling only 7.3% of what the nation is expected to achieve based on the resources (income) it has available.[5]
