| Summary: | Most child health programmes in India as well as globally primarily focus on under-5 children with an inadequate focus on children aged 6–17 years. This review explores key domains of child well-being, examines the opportunities and challenges in service delivery in this age group and underscores the need for a stronger policy and programmatic focus. Authors conclude that Context-specific, scalable and sustainable models need to be established through rigorous implementation research for improving the well-being of children aged 6–17 years. |
