Closing Plenary: Call to Action
About the Council’s Campaign for Children’s Lives
The loss of a child is one of the most devastating things that can happen to families anywhere in the world. When a child dies from a preventable disease or treatable health condition, the loss is not only a tragedy for the child’s family but signals a failure in public health and health systems.
 Today we are losing more than 10 million children each year from largely preventable causes. It is a global tragedy, but not a fact of life. Proven and effective interventions exist. The fact is that, together, communities and countries can stop this needless loss of life.
At the 34th Annual International Conference on Global Health, Nils Daulaire, the president of the Council, issued a call-to-action on child health and announced the Council’s new Campaign for Children’s Lives. The Council has initiated this campaign to mobilize its members so that they can be effective advocates in the worldwide efforts to secure child survival and make the loss of children from preventable causes a thing of the past. The Council seeks to support its members’ efforts through a number of activities including:
- member updates on key policy initiatives, legislation and best practices
- development of advocacy messages and tools
- analyses of child health issues and information on child health investment needs
- opportunities to be involved in international advocacy efforts directed at governments and donors.
Details on how you can be involved will be forthcoming.
