GoalFour
Reduce Child Mortality
Death rates in children under age 5 are dropping. But not fast enough. Eleven million children a year 30,000 a day die from preventable or treatable causes. Most of these lives could be saved by expanding existing programmes that promote simple, low-cost solutions. Source: UN MDG Report 2005
What are the targets?
Goal 4 of the Millennium Development Goals sets out by the year 2015 to:- Reduce by two thirds the mortality rate among children under five.
