title: [WHO strategies to reduce childhood mortality in developing countries].
abstract: In 1990, world political leaders decided to make an effort to reduce childhood mortality in developing countries. One of several formulated goals was to reduce childhood mortality by one third compared with the figures for 1990. The child health programmes, which include vaccination, diarrhoeal and respiratory infection programmes, have already managed to reduce the mortality from common childhood diseases significantly. WHO is primarily an organization with technical cooperative aspirations, but still needs all possible available professional and economic support, in order to reduce childhood mortality even further.
