Child mortality is decreasing but millions of preventable deaths still occur in children under 5. Moreover, equity remains an important concern.

That's why the #struggleforhealth remains relevant.

David Sanders taught me & so many others so much. If we sadly no longer have him in person, we still have his work to inspire us to question the solution.

🙏🏽 @wimdeceuk and Barbara for this precious gift @PHMglobal.

🙏🏽 @DrMaryTBassett & @TheLancet for this insightful review.

This article would have been an interesting reference for the section of The Struggle for Health second edition that discusses the history of primary health care. https://t.co/cDKghBXAJG https://t.co/oGAQDWWLyt

History shows that child mortality can drop very fast. Unfortunately it remains far too high in many countries. The #StruggleForHealth explains how we can ensure every child enjoys the right to health. https://t.co/cDKghBXAJG https://t.co/LQBkGuf574
