CHILD HEALTH/ SALUD INFANTIL.



At Wukro Market, 02/08/2012

About 1.2 million infant deaths are averted globally each year by preventing unintended pregnancies. If we could meet all demands for contraception, another 640,000 newborn deaths would be prevented. Family planning increases child survival.

Se podrían evitar 1.2 millones de muertes infantiles al año aproximadamente  con la prevención de embarazos no deseados. Si pudiéramos satisfacer todas las demandas de anticoncepción podríamos prevenir, incluso, otras 640.000 muertes neonatales. La planificación familiar incrementa la supervivencia infantil.
