Millennium Development Goals Report 2010
"It is clear that improvements in the lives of the poor have been unacceptably slow, and some hard-won gains are being eroded by the climate, food and economic crises," UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon says in the foreword to the Millennium Development Goals Report 2010, issued on 23 June. But the report also cites big gains in cutting the rate of extreme poverty, getting children into primary schools, addressing AIDS, malaria and child health, and a good chance to reach the target for access to clean drinking water.

Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon called for concerted efforts to end what he described as the "scandal" of women dying in childbirth. "Some simple blood tests, consultation with a doctor and qualified help at the birth itself can make a huge difference," Mr. Ban said in an address to an international conference in Washington aimed at finding solutions to problems affecting women and girls worldwide.

La mayoría de estos niños están muriendo en los países en desarrollo por causas evitables que falta implementar. A menos que se incrementan los esfuerzos, habrá pocas esperanzas de alcanzar los “Objetivos de desarrollo del Milenio” de evitar 5,4 millones de defunciones infantiles cada año necesarias para alcanzar ODM 4 de una reducción de dos tercios para el año 2015. El mapa muestra el número estimado de muertes (en millones) que tiene lugar antes de la edad de cinco años (datos de 2006. Fuente: UNICEF) Latest figures show that 9.7 million children under-five are dying every year, down from over 12 million in 1990 Most of these children are dying in developing countries from preventable causes for which there are known and cost-effective interventions. Unless efforts are increased there will be little hope of averting the additional 5.4 million child deaths per year needed to achieve MDG4 of a two-third reduction by 2015. The map shows estimated number of deaths (in million) occuring before the age of five in 2006. Source: UNICEF | |
