When I was working on the Thai-Burma border, there was a group bringing backpacks full of medical supplies. So when I saw this interview on under 5 mortality between Andrea Mitchell of MSNBC and USAID Administrator Raj Shah, I thought it was worth sharing.
Cheap solutions to prevent 7mn under 5 deaths, including:
Diarrhea vaccine
Sweet potatoes — has Beta Karo-tine for vitamin A
Zinc tablets — for diarrhea and used with deydration salts
Bed nets — 220,000 children saved each year — cost $6
Mask to help new babies breathe
