07.04.2005 "Make every mother and child count" is the slogan of World Health Day 2005. This year's World Health Report calls for a new momentum to address and improve maternal, neonatal and child health. Every year 10 million children die, 4 million of these in the first four weeks of life (the neonatal period). Yet, simple cost-effective interventions exist which could save up to 3 million of these newborns. These interventions are explored in a new Key Issues page on maternal, newborn and child health now available on the HRC/Eldis Health Resource Guide. This clear and concise guide highlights the key policy debates, and examines what action is needed to achieve the Millennium Development Goals on maternal and child health.
