In order to help a nation lower its child mortality rates, some potential solutions include:
Immunizations
Immediate and exclusive breastfeeding
Skilled attendants for antenatal, birth, and postnatal care
Access to nutrition and micronutrients
Family knowledge and awareness of danger signs in a child’s health
Better access to water, sanitation, and hygiene
In the developing world, child mortality is an issue of rampant importance that numerous people are fighting to reduce. On top of that, the number of children younger than 5 who die each year from preventable causes has decreased dramatically, from 12.7 million in 1990 to 5.9 million in 2015. However, the World Health Organization along with other development agencies consider it not enough.
