Children's Health

See how a child grows and stays protected, and the common conditions — in interactive 3D — with ORS, vaccines and where to get help in India.

Conditions in this section

• Diarrhoea & Dehydration — Loose stools that can dangerously dry out a small child — but ORS and zinc make it very treatable.
• Childhood Pneumonia — A lung infection that is a leading cause of child death — but very treatable when spotted and treated early.
• Vaccine-Preventable Diseases — Serious childhood diseases — measles, polio, diphtheria and more — that vaccines prevent safely and cheaply.
• Newborn Jaundice — Yellow skin in a newborn from bilirubin — usually harmless and passing, but needs checking so severe cases are treated.
• Intestinal Worms — Gut worms are common in children and quietly drain nutrition — but cheap deworming and hygiene clear them.
• Malnutrition & Stunting — Not enough good nutrition in early childhood harms growth and brain development — but it is preventable and treatable.
