Nurturing Futures: The First 2000 Days
Join us at your next Clinical Society for an evening of dinner, networking and an in-depth discussion exploring the critical first 2000 days of life—a foundational period for health and development.
We will discuss the essential role of primary health care in supporting maternal and child health, addressing nutrition, early childhood development, and preventative care. Experts will share evidence-based strategies, innovative practices, and community-driven solutions to ensure every child gets the best start in life.
