Every child needs good health

Children must have good physical and mental health.

They must know how to keep healthy.

Being healthy means things like:

  • pregnant mothers have healthy lifestyles
  • newborn babies get the best possible start in life
  • children get enough healthy food and drink
  • children get enough exercise
  • children go to the doctor and dentist for check ups
  • children keep clean
  • children are happy – they have friends and someone to talk to
  • children get advice and guidance about being healthy
