Prioritizing low-cost, simple health measures would save 2.5 million child lives a year

(World Vision) A new report warns basic life-saving solutions such as hygiene, adequate nutrition, bed nets and skilled birth attendants “not a priority” for too many leaders. “Politics, not poverty, is what is killing these children,” the NGO’s leader says. Much health funding is spent in ways that fail to have greatest impact for saving children and mothers; changing that could save as many as six million a year.
