Document Summary

Don"t see stories like this in other countries because it"s not routine it happens often. Gender quality - women"s health used to be overlooked women didn"t use to be physicians. Infant mortality contributes to child mortality (overlaps) Goes from red to no mor red The world did improve in reducing child mortality. America, europe and western pacific reached target. On the line who keeps reducing will mean thay they reach the goal. Countries over the line all have conflicts. Africa 29% of kids die in neonatal. In south asia more then die during this period. Childhood underweight - contributed almost solely from low income countries. Stunting- lower then you should be for your age. Undernutrition makes you more susceptible for other diseases. Should breastfeed your baby for atleast 6 months. Drop in breastfeeding and more ppl using formula. Illness occurs twice as ofter among babies who arn"t breast fed. Transmit diseases using formula because the water is polluted.
