World Summit for Children: Advancing Comprehensive Development for Every Child

High rates of infant and childhood mortality are primarily caused by infectious diseases, nearly all of which are preventable. Furthermore, food insecurity and malnutrition have long-term health consequences that can affect a child for their entire life. These interconnected issues significantly impact a child’s health and overall well-being. By addressing these challenges with tangible solutions—motivated by the conviction that even one preventable death is too many—the potential of every child can be unlocked. Such efforts not only save lives but also ensure the foundation for a lifetime of health and opportunity.
