Health

One of several goals of the Austrian health strategy for children and young people is to ensure that they can grow up as healthily as possible. Promoting health must therefore begin at an early age.

However, there are many factors related to a person's health that can only be influenced to a certain extent, if at all. An illness or disability can have a significant impact on the quality of life of children and young people. Still, it is important to ensure that those who face health challenges from an early age have access to the best possible care, education, social participation, and career opportunities.
