Healthcare is one of the main focus areas of most children's charities. Lack of proper healthcare affects both the mental and physical growth of the children. In developing and undeveloped countries, children do not have enough food, while in developed countries, the development of children is affected by physical, mental and substance abuse.

Some of the health related issues addressed by charities and other child welfare organisations are:
1. Ensure that children have a balanced diet with sufficient nutrients needed for growth
2. Arrange for regular health checkups especially eyes and teeth.
3. Vaccinations and immunisation against common diseases
4. Check the children for emotional and behavioral problems, suggest remedial action if required.
