tailieunhanh - Levels & Trends in Child Mortality Report 2012

Bangladesh Serves as an Archetype for International Investment Between 1990 and 2010, Bangladesh saw a 66 percent reduction in its under-five child mortality rate, thanks to renewed focus on key child health interventions. Over the next few years, this trend will continue with the planned rollout of new vaccines, including pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) in 2013. Pneumonia accounted for 16 percent of all deaths in children under age five in Bangladesh in 2008. In Bangladesh, key Members of the British Parliament (MPs) and the UK All Party Parliamentary Group for Global Action Against Childhood Pneumonia joined the GAVI Civil Society Organization (CSO) Constituency and the Bangladesh Rehabilitation Assistance Committee (BRAC) for field visits to observe immunization in village. | Levels Trends in Child Mortality Report 2012 Estimates Developed by the UN Inter-agency Group for Child Mortality Estimation unicefW World Health Organization THE WORLD BANK United Nations This report was prepared at UNICEF Headquarters by Danzhen You Jin Rou New and Tessa Wardlaw on behalf of the United Nations Inter-agency Group for Child Mortality Estimation.
