In this month's Health Check Dr Ayan Panja and Claudia Hammond examine imaginative ideas that are improving children's lives - from fish tank pumps saving premature babies to a robot that helps young children adjust to life with diabetes. They look at initiatives that are preventing illnesses in children, including a simple yet cutting edge design for giving drugs to new-born babies that prevent them getting HIV from their mothers.
