Children's Health: The “Unfinished Agenda”
2017
These compiled resources on children and the “unfinished agenda”—which includes child and maternal mortality; infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis, and neglected tropical diseases; and undernutrition—are part of the resource pack on children’s health curated by the Global Health Education and Learning Incubator. By 2015, as the global community reached the culmination of the Millennium Development Goals, much progress had been made to end preventable deaths of children worldwide. Although global community transitioned to a new set of commitments to end extreme poverty, fight inequality and injustice, and tackle climate change—the Sustainable Development Goals—realizing the old goals still remains a critical global priority. Selected resources provide an opportunity to learn about child mortality, including neonatal and infant mortality, as well as the disproportionate burden of infectious diseases, poverty, and undernutrition on children.
