Kinder in armen Ländern sterben an Ursachen, die in den reichen Ländern fast völlig besiegt wurden – wie unsicherer Geburt, durch Impfung vermeidbare Krankheiten, günstig behandelbare Infektionen wie Malaria, oder Mangelernährung.
Children in poor countries die from causes – such as unsafe childbirth, vaccine-preventable diseases, infections such as malaria for which low-cost treatments exist, and nutritional deficiencies – that have been almost totally eliminated in the rich countries.
