Overview
“This briefing highlights the factors that contribute to the stark differences in mortality rates between poor children and those from better-off families. Where there is political will to ensure that poor people overcome these barriers, the human right to health will be progressively realised, and the health-related Millennium Development Goals will be achieved by 2015.” Mary Robinson, former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights
