Abstract: (87 Views)
| This year’s World Health Day theme provides an opportunity to further highlight the critical importance of the first 1,000 days of life. The first 1,000 days of life, from pregnancy through a child's second birthday, is considered the first and most important university for every individual. During this period, pregnant mothers and infants require physical, nutritional, and emotional care. The seeds of many non-communicable diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, infertility, and autism, are sown during this critical time. Social problems, such as alcohol addiction, suicide, and divorce, are also not exempt from this rule. Various countries worldwide are actively raising public awareness about this golden and irreversible period. In Iran, the general public, healthcare providers, and policymakers must also recognize the importance and sensitivity of this vital period. Increased awareness can lead to improved preconception health care, prenatal care, and nurturing care during early childhood. By prioritizing these stages, we pave the way for a brighter future for the next generation. |
