Bien qu'utilisé par l'ONU, l'UNICEF et l'OMS, le terme santé infantile peut porter à confusion puisqu'infantile renvoie à la première enfance (selon le petit Robert) tandis qu'enfant couvre une plus large période. À moins que "child" ne vise que cette première période (ce qui ne paraît pas le cas), il vaudrait mieux éviter infantile. 2, record 2, French, - sant%C3%A9%20de%20l%27enfant
