Abstract

Almost 7 million children younger than age 5 years died in 2012, mostly from preventable diseases. Although, globally, mortality rates for those younger than 5 have declined by almost 50% from 90 deaths in 1990 to 48 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2012, rates in sub-Saharan Africa continue to be unacceptably high at more than 100 deaths per 1,000 live births. One of the millennium development goals is to reduce child mortality by two-thirds by 2015 by reducing the five major causes of child mortality globally: diarrhea, malaria, neonatal infection, pneumonia, and preterm delivery. Malnutrition and lack of safe water contribute to more than half of these child deaths.
