Children's Health-Palm Health Medi Centre

Child health is a state of physical, mental, intellectual, social and emotional well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. Healthy children live in families, environments, and communities that provide them with the opportunity to reach their fullest developmental potential. Malnourished children are more likely to contract diseases such as diarrhoea, measles and other infections. These can lead to death, as well as a range of permanent mental and physical shortfalls. Why is the health of the child is important? Your child's health is the foundation of all growth and development. Of course, your child's health includes more than physical growth. Some other important parts of your child's health include their cognitive (learning and thinking) development, social and emotional growth, and mental health.
