title: Child survival: what are the issues?
abstract: Five health problems continue to jeopardize the survival of the world's children including prenatal factors, level of nutrition, communicable diseases common to childhood, diarrheal diseases, and acute respiratory infections. Although some of these concerns are being managed effectively in the United States and other Western countries, they still pose tremendous risks for the child born in Asia, Africa, Latin America, or the South Pacific.
