Closing the Survival Gap for Children Under 5
In commemoration of Mother's Day, Save the Children is publishing its ninth annual State of the World’s Mothers report.The focus is on the 200 million children under age 5 who do not get basic health care, with poorest children most frequently left out and most at risk of dying. This report shows which countries are doing the best – and which are doing the worst – at reaching children with basic health measures. It also looks at the survival gaps between the poorest and best-off children in developing countries, and shows how millions of lives can be saved if children, especially the poorest, receive essential, low-cost health care.
