Today, in a world where 10.8 million children under the age of five die annually from preventable and treatable causes, public health experts are bringing world attention to the fact that interventions already exist that could save millions of children’s lives each year. Join the Global Health Council, the US Coalition for Child Survival and child health experts to examine the cost of those interventions and their effectiveness, particularly for preventing the deaths of 4 million infants who currently don’t survive their first month of life. Learn how little it will cost nations to save children’s lives and give families in the poorest countries hope that their children will make it to adulthood.
