Abstract

  

Introduction

The health of children is a direct indicator of a nation’s wellbeing and future potential. Robust child healthcare policies ensure not only survival but also the long-term physical, mental, and emotional development of children. Despite advances in medical technology and global health initiatives, millions of children still suffer from preventable diseases, malnutrition, and lack of access to basic health services. [

Many countries have adopted child healthcare policies aligned with global goals such as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially SDG 3, which targets good health and well-being. These policies often focus on immunization, nutrition, maternal health, and the prevention of infectious diseases. However, implementation remains uneven due to budget constraints, infrastructure limitations, and policy fragmentation.. [4-6].

Child healthcare is a cornerstone of national development, yet remains a pressing challenge in many regions. Effective policies and practical approaches are essential to ensure every child receives equitable, comprehensive, and quality healthcare. This article examines current frameworks, identifies key gaps, and proposes actionable strategies to improve child health outcomes. [7-10].

conclusion

Improving child healthcare requires a holistic, rights based approach supported by strong policy frameworks and evidence-based practices. With the right investment and commitment, nations can lay the foundation for a healthier, more prosperous future.
