Children’s Health | Abbott’s Health Solutions for Kids

Building a healthier future for kids around the world

Healthy habits lay the foundation for a fuller life. This simple truth drives Abbott’s work to advance health for millions of children globally.

What does Abbott do to advance children’s health?

We have focused our vision for the future on three areas — to help the kids who eventually will be leading that future:

Health technology innovation in cardiovascular and diabetes care
Partnerships that educate people on NCD prevention in kids and build support communities that they can participate in
Tools and screening to combat malnutrition

Get up and dance with us

We partnered with Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit behind global children’s TV hit “Sesame Street,” to get into the groove of healthy habit formation and learn how those small habits can be building blocks for lifelong wellness.

Watch our global special, “Elmo’s World: Dance Party!” With the help of Elmo and his friends, you’ll learn how even dancing can help kids build healthy routines around physical activity.
