Child Health Now Campaign
Child Health NowEvery year nine million children die from largely preventable causes - some four million of them in the Asia-Pacific region. Children die from things like diarrhoea, pneumonia, malaria and measles, when simple and cheap solutions like vaccinations, using bed nets and drinking clean water would save millions of lives. World Vision's five-year Child Health Now campaign aims to cut the death toll by encouraging governments to commit to funding and putting in place cheap community and family-based health solutions.
