Girl child health
Ensuring accessibilty of health facilities to the girl-child
In some settings, gender discrimination means girls are likely less to access vaccines, health services and good nutrition than their male counterparts. Girls aged 5-9 have a relatively high risk of dying from preventable infectious diseases such as lower respiratory infections, diarrhoeal diseases, or malaria.
We are going to advocate for educating girls and women to improve health outcomes
Despite progress made over the last 20yrs however girls are still less likely than boys to attend school and also raising awareness of health issue.
Promoting healthy practices during adolescence and taking steps to better protect young girls from health risks are critical for the prevention of health problems in adulthood, and for countries future health and social infrastructure.
