Understanding the Crisis
Children's Healthcare
Children's healthcare encompasses a wide range of services focused on the physical, cognitive,
social, and emotional well-being of children — from birth through adolescence.
It includes preventive care like immunisations and nutrition support, management of illnesses
and accidents, diagnostic services for developmental disabilities, and a strong emphasis on the
child's environment and family context.
The ultimate goal is to promote healthy growth and development, enhance quality of life, and
reduce preventable child deaths. CMHDA steps in where the health system falls short — ensuring
no child is left to suffer from a preventable or treatable condition.
