The child mortality rate worldwide has shot up so drastically over the last few years that it has become important to fight it back by offering more health facilities to the underprivileged ones.
An estimated report from the UNICEF states that nearly 29,000 children die every day. Don’t be surprised to know that majority of the children, which is almost close to 94%, embraces death in 60 of the poorest countries across the world.
Many factors attribute to such a huge number deaths in those nations. It is the unavailability of hospitals and good doctors and mainly because they can’t access any facilities like medicines, proper medical care and hygiene, which leads to untimely deaths.
One pertinent point that needs to be highlighted is the deadly attacks of HIV/AIDS and armed conflicts, which have increased the child mortality ratio.
