Promoting health and a healthy lifestyle in babies and children has a significant impact not only in the present but also on their future.
Healthier babies and children are better able to learn and respond to the challenges they encounter throughout life. They also contribute to a society that is more aware of well-being, happiness and human flourishing. In addition, they help build a more productive country and are more likely to become adults who live longer, with lower levels of disease and disability.
As highlighted in the report “Healthier Generations”, children’s health is essential to their well-being and development, shaping their future as fulfilled individuals with good health, self-confidence, positive relationships, personal and professional achievement, and meaningful contribution to society.
