Abstract

Growth charts are among the tools used by nutritionists to track infant and child well-being. Numerous countries have depicted growth charts on their postage stamps, along with other GOBI components of child health (oral rehydration, breastfeeding, and immunizations). Postage stamps are useful in conveying essential health information to the populace and they honor worldwide efforts to improve child health. This article presents examples of GOBI depictions on postage stamps around the world, with special focus on growth charts.
