Features: Children are the future of the motherland and the hope of humanity. Protecting children's health is related to the civilization and progress of society, as well as the future and development of mankind. The international community has established the social principle of prioritizing children and ensuring maternal safety, giving great attention to the health of women and children. As a developing country, China has a large population and uneven regional development. With limited investment, achieving significant improvements in children's health still faces many difficulties and challenges. We will reduce infant and under-5 mortality rates in rural and impoverished areas as a primary task of child health care. For major diseases that cause child mortality, such as pneumonia, diarrhea, and infectious diseases, we will study countermeasures, adopt effective measures, strengthen management, and ensure the achievement of goals and tasks set in the Child Health Program. This book focuses on the important aspect of protecting and promoting children's health, implementing comprehensive management of common and prevalent childhood diseases through simple and effective interventions, which helps reduce infant and under-5 mortality. It is another global initiative following the management of acute respiratory diseases in children.
