How Can Pediatricians Help Underprivileged Children?
Pediatricians play a crucial role in improving the health outcomes of underprivileged children. They can:
1. Advocate for policies that provide better healthcare access and support services. 2. Collaborate with social workers, educators, and community organizations to create a comprehensive support system. 3. Educate families about the importance of nutrition, vaccination, and regular health check-ups. 4. Screen for social determinants of health and provide resources or referrals as needed.
