Objective To analyze the role of strengthening childrens health care in promoting the growth and development of infants and young children. Methods The research was carried out in the form of comparative observation. From January 2018 to December 2019, 300 infants and young children in our department who participated in health examination were selected. They were divided into the control group (150 cases, routine health care) and the observation group (150 cases, strengthened child health care) by double blind method. The height, weight, head circumference and incidence of common diseases of the two groups were analyzed one year after the intervention. Results Comparing the ASQ-C scores of height, weight, head circumference, age and development process between the two groups, the observation group was significantly better than the control group (P<0.05). By comparing the incidence of common diseases of infants in the two groups, the incidence of nutritional anemia, pneumonia, rickets and diarrhea in the observation group was lower than that in the control group, with statistical significance (P<0.05). Conclusion Strengthening child health care can effectively improve the growth and development level of infants, ensure their health, and reduce the incidence of common diseases. This intervention model can be used for a long time.
