The global under-five mortality rate has dropped over 50% since 1990! A new UN report highlights countries like India, Nepal, Senegal, Ghana, and Burundi, which achieved this through strong governance and innovative health policies.

_The Evening Post_, 2 October 1924:
            ORIGIN OF DISEASE
WRONG UPBRINGING IN CHILDHOOD
  Addressing a conference of health officers recently, a leading medical authority stated that much of the disease that is prevalent to-day is due to malnutrition and wrong diet in childhood. The growing body has been starved of vitamines [sic] and other essential properties necessary for full development of #children.
  The same doctor deplored the use of artificial, preservatised, and overcooked food, and urged that children be given more fresh vegetables, fresh fruit, fresh milk, and brown bread.
