Congenital abnormalities of the kidney and urinary tract are reported to occur in 5 to 10% of the population [9]. They represent 25% of the total ultrasonographically diagnosed malformations that occur in – of fetuses. About 1/3 to 2/3 of ESRD in children are due to congenital ab- normalities of the kidney and urinary tract. In addition, these abnormalities occur in 23% of patients with chromosomal aberrations, and 2/3 of patients with abnormalities of other organ systems. Some of these abnormalities are minor and are discovered incidentally; others are major, leading to obstruction, renal scarring, pyelonephritis, and ESRD. Uri- nary tract abnormalities should be suspected in any child with UTI, congenital anomalies. | Number I 2007 A WORLD VISION JOURNAL OF HUMAN DEVELOPMENT Idren s h mmunit THIS EDITION FEATURING Jens Stoltenberg Prime Minister of Norway Ann Veneman Executive Director UNICEF Joy Phumaphi Vice President and Network Head of Human Development The World Bank Partnership for Maternal Newborn and Child Health contents Number 1 2007 Prakash Lal 1 2 4 6 8 8 10 12 14 17 18 19 21 22 24 Impatient for revolution Anne Peterson Global solidarity for maternal and child health Jens Stoltenberg Closing the gap children and the Millennium Development Goals Ann Veneman The crisis in children s health Joy Phumaphi Malnutrition an underlying cause of child mortality Carolyn MacDonald Setting children free to grow Narantsetseg Tsevegsuren Justin Douglass The power of positive mothers Jacqueline Lino Gladys Ruiz Communities fight TB save children s lives Mary Grace Gayoso Linking up for infant and maternal health Reena Samuel Beulah Jayakumar Building child health into HIV and AIDS programming Jeff Dykstra Bruce Wilkinson Long walk to treatment Martha Newsome Anne Peterson Partnership for Maternal Newborn Child Health the continuum of care approach Francisco Songane The G8 an opportunity to achieve health care for all Greetings from Helsinki Thank you so much for Global Future magazine.
