Background & objectives: The issue of child health is considered one of the essential priorities of the health policy makers of countries around the world. Therefore, to reflect the results of implementing a comprehensive program on children's health, the present study assessed the effect of a new integrated care package for healthy children on children's health indicators. 
Methods: This descriptive and analytical study was conducted cross-sectionally and comprehensively in the population of children under five years of age (during 1398-1400) in 1401. Data collection tools included information collection checklists based on research objectives. The data were calculated as percentages and amounts and analyzed with the Wilcoxon test and SPSS-26 software at an error level of less than 0.05.
Results:Between the implementation of the healthy child program and the mortality rate of children under one-year-old (p=0.025), under five years mortality rate (p=0.002), 1-59 months mortality rate (p=0.008 p-value), developmental screening of children (p= 0.001), vaccination coverage (p=0.001) and child care coverage (p=0.005) a significant relationship was obtained, but with the infant mortality rate (p=0.317) and child's visit by a doctor (p=0.083) no significant association was observed.
Conclusion: Implementing the new healthy child package reduces mortality indicators and increases care indicators and developmental screenings of children. Since health indicators are one of the most important criteria in evaluating the health of society, implementing the new child package is necessary to be healthy qualitatively and quantitatively.
