Every child deserves a healthy start in life
Why is preventive care for children so important?
Preventive care for children ensure that children are healthy and safe throughout their childhood and into adulthood. Children who receive regular health screenings are more likely to have better health outcomes and fulfill their academic potential, as many health issues can affect child’s development, social skills, academic performance, and overall quality of life.
The World Health Organization recommends periodic health screening to identify potential health problems in childhood.
In most cases, early detection and intervention will improve the child’s health, as treatment is more effective if begin early and may reduce the risk of permanent conditions or chronic illnesses in adulthood. Preventive care can also help to reduce health care costs, as conditions are mitigated at an early stage.
