Child brain health in South Asia: moving from survival to prevention

Résumé fourni par la source

Child brain health does not begin at birth; it starts shaping much earlier—beginning before conception—and is influenced by the maternal–foetal–neonatal triad. A substantial proportion of early neurological outcomes are determined by events that unfold across this continuum.1 The first 1000 days; from conception to second birthday, are recognised as the most critical period for brain growth, neurodevelopment, and biological programming.2 However, current regional health priorities remain heavily weighted towards downstream outcomes such as neonatal survival, while upstream biological and social determinants of brain development are addressed insufficiently.
