Hygiene Education: Encourage programs that teach young children about proper handwashing, dental care, and other hygiene habits that prevent illness and promote health.

Access to Healthcare: Advocate for routine health screenings, immunization checks, and access to school nurses who can monitor students’ health, handle emergencies, and offer health advice to children and families.
