Abstract
"Although child health has improved overall, three of the ten most important conditions of the global burden of disease still are diseases of childhood - respiratory infections, perinatal conditions and diarrhoeal diseases - causing over half of child deaths. Consequently, initiatives to improve child health can have an enormous impact on reducing the global burden of disease. These initiatives must start with research findings that are tested in the field and fashioned into intervention that help those in need. These interventions in turn raise fresh questions that stimulate additional research, beginning the cycle anew."(pg 4)
