Every child has the right to survive. We can reduce the numbers of 
children dying from easily preventable causes. Most of the children who 
die each year could be saved by low cost, evidence-based, cost-effective
 primary care practices such as vaccines, antibiotics, micronutrient 
supplementation, insecticide treated bed nets, improved family care and 
breastfeeding practices, and oral re hydration therapy. These low cost 
primary care interventions could reduce neonatal mortality by up to 70 
per cent. General Practitioners have a very important role to play in 
reducing the neonatal mortality. For more info visit:

According to WHO, almost 19,000 children under five years of age are 
dying every day across the world. India tops the list of countries with 
the highest number with around 18 lakh such deaths annually. For India, 
despite it being one of the fastest growing economies, there has been no
 visible pattern between per capita income growth and the rate of 
reduction of child mortality rates. One-third of all malnourished 
children live in India. Of the 26 million children born in India every 
year, approximately 1.83 million children die before their fifth 
birthday. For more info visit:
