Childhood mortality

Overview

Child deaths have declined from more than 12million in 1990, to 7.6million in 2010, though progress in reducing neonatal deaths (within the first month of life) has fallen behind, with these early deaths accounting for a greater proportion of global child deaths than ever before.

We are in the process of collating information for this topic.
