Child Health
Children are vulnerable beings, more at risk to illness and health complications. When children are spared from disease, they can grow into healthy adults, and in this way, contribute to the development of dynamic and productive societies. Children's health includes more than physical growth. It also includes cognitive (learning and thinking) development, social and emotional growth, and mental health. Health in the earliest years strengthens developing biological systems that enable children to thrive and grow up to be healthy adults. Positive early experiences provide children with a foundation for building sturdy brain architecture.
