Economist.com: "Child mortality
Oct 7th 2004
From The Economist print edition
Progress is too slow in reducing child deaths, according to a new report from Unicef. The United Nations Millennium Development Goals, established in 2000, set countries a target of cutting under-five mortality rates by two-thirds, comparing 2015 with 1990. While 90 countries, among them Egypt, Indonesia and Brazil, are on track to meet this goal, Cambodia, Botswana and Afghanistan are among 98 countries far off target. War, malnutrition, AIDS and other diseases cause 11m child deaths a year, most of which could be prevented by basic health measures. "
