Abstract---Children in India face health issues and are afflicted by
illnesses and disorders. There are a variety of factors that contribute
to these issues. It is the parents' primary obligation to ensure that
their children receive good nourishment and education and that the
home environment is created in such a way that it promotes the
health and well-being of the children in an acceptable manner. The
causes of health problems, the prevalence of childhood health
problems, child health interventions, and strategies to avoid health
problems among children are the key topics covered in this study
paper. It is critical that individuals from deprived, marginalized, and
socioeconomically backward areas of society raise awareness about
these initiatives. Individuals of all classifications, backgrounds, and
occupations must be aware of health issues affecting children and
how to address them.
Keywords---accident poisoning, behavioral problems, children, health
problems, infections parasitosis, low birth weight, malnutrition.
