CHILD'S HEALTH AND SAFETY


It is crucial to ensure your child’s safety and prevent early childhood deaths. The best way to protect your baby is by ensuring they receive vaccines to protect against infectious diseases. 


In Tanzania, there is a protocol for every baby to receive vaccinations from birth, such as Diphtheria, Tetanus, Whooping Cough, Polio, Rubella, and Measles. The doctor will explain which vaccines are essential and how often they should be administered.


CHILDHOOD FEVER

A newborn may experience fever due to various conditions. Fever in babies is common and is usually caused by an increase in body temperature, vomiting and diarrheas. This can worry many parents, but it is important to see a doctor if the condition worsens.



 CHILDHOOD DISEASES AND DISABILITIES

Some children are born healthy but may develop physical disabilities as they grow. These include:

  • Hearing loss
  • Vision impairment
  • Inability to walk
  • Clubfoot
  • Speech difficulties
  • Learning disabilities
  • Congenital diseases

The doctor may advise on how to help prevent or treat these conditions.
