What are the Major Challenges in Global Pediatric Health?
Some of the primary challenges include:
Malnutrition: A significant cause of morbidity and mortality among children, especially in low-income countries. Infectious diseases: Conditions like malaria, HIV/AIDS, and tuberculosis disproportionately affect children in developing regions. Lack of access to healthcare services: Many children do not have access to essential medical care, immunizations, and medications. Poor sanitation and clean water: These are critical for preventing diseases yet are often unavailable in many parts of the world. Conflict and displacement: Children in conflict zones face heightened risks of trauma, malnutrition, and lack of healthcare.
