Why may chronically ill or medically fragile children require closer attention to health and sanitation practices?

Children who are chronically ill or medically fragile often have underlying health conditions that can compromise their immune systems. This means that they are more vulnerable to infections and illnesses because their bodies may not be able to fight off pathogens as effectively as children with robust immune systems. As a result, these children require closer attention to health and sanitation practices to minimize their exposure to germs and other health risks.

Implementing stringent hygiene measures, such as regular handwashing, environmental cleanliness, and careful monitoring of any potential sources of infection, is crucial in supporting the health and well-being of these children. This focus on health and sanitation helps to create a safer environment and reduce the likelihood of illness, which can be particularly important for their overall health management.
