Place of birth is almost always crucial for people. This is the conclusion of the United Nations study on health among children and adolescents.
UN: every 4 seconds a young life is cut short
According to the United Nations, many young people still die from treatable diseases or injuries due to lack of good health care. Every 4 seconds, a young life is cut short. A total of about five million children under the age of five died worldwide in 2021, according to new figures, the United Nations reported on Tuesday. Another 2.1 million children, adolescents and young adults died between the ages of 5 and 24. Together, this equates to one death worldwide every 4.4 seconds. In addition, 1.9 million stillbirths were registered. "Access to quality health care remains a matter of life and death for children around the world," the UN said.
According to the report, progress has been made between 2000 and 2021, with under-five mortality falling by 50 percent, under-24 mortality by 36 percent and stillbirths by 35 percent. However, if mothers were better cared for during pregnancy and childbirth and young people had access to quality health care, most of the deaths could be avoided, the UN children's agency Unicef said.
UN: every 4 seconds a young life is cut short - this is deeply unfair
More investment is needed in basic health care for all women and children. Children in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa are particularly at risk. "It is profoundly unfair that a child's chances of survival can be determined solely by where they are born and that there are such wide inequalities in access to life-saving health services," said Anshu Banerjee, Director of the World Health Organization's (WHO) Maternal, Newborn, Child and Adolescent Health Division.
