Saving the lives of vulnerable children.

Abstract

Child health is critical to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals, most obviously the target to reduce the under-5 mortality rate by two-thirds between 1990 and 2015, but also to reduce communicable disease, improve educational achievement, and interrupt the cycle of poverty.
