Eight millennium goals
The document summarizes the Eight Millennium Goals related to reducing child mortality, specifically Goal 4 and its targets. It discusses the leading causes of child death, which include pneumonia, diarrhea, malaria, measles, HIV/AIDS, and undernutrition. Undernutrition is an underlying cause in over half of child deaths each year. The conclusion calls for governments to strengthen health systems and access to medical supplies and interventions. It also calls for donors to increase financial commitments to child survival programs to achieve Millennium Development Goal 4.
Power of Vaccines
Immunization is widely recognized as one of public health’s most successful and cost-effective health interventions. Routine childhood immunization can prevent certain illnesses, premature deaths from vaccine-preventable illnesses, and hospitalizations over a lifetime...
Measles
Measles is a highly contagious disease that is a leading cause of death among young children globally, despite the availability of a safe and effective vaccine. In 2011, there were 158,000 measles deaths worldwide, mostly among children under five in developing countries. Widespread vaccination efforts have reduced global measles deaths by 71% between 2000 and 2011. The WHO aims to reduce measles deaths by 95% by 2015 and achieve regional elimination goals through continued mass vaccination campaigns and improving routine vaccination coverage.
The Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization
The Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization is a global strategy that aims to strengthen children's immunization programs and introduce new generations of licensed vaccines in developing countries worldwide. These new vaccines, which could help reduce the number of deaths in children aged 5 years old and below, include vaccines for hepatitis B, childhood meningitis, yellow fever, influenza, and pneumonia. The document then provides further details on each of these vaccines.
Measles Signs and Symptons
According to the World Health Organization, there were over 58,000 suspected measles cases in the Philippines in 2014, including over 21,000 confirmed cases and 110 deaths. Measles vaccination has led to a 75% reduction in global measles deaths between 2000 and 2013, preventing an estimated 15.6 million deaths. However, measles remains one of the leading causes of death among young children, with about 400 deaths daily worldwide in 2013. The document then describes the signs and symptoms of measles as well as various potential complications, such as encephalitis, blindness, diarrhea, and pneumonia.

Preventing the Preventable: Breaking Down Barriers to Vaccine Delivery in AfricaAmref Health Africa in Canada
Vaccines have revolutionized children’s health in Canada. Globally, immunization saves up to 3 million children every year.
So, why are so many children in sub-Saharan Africa still dying from diseases that are easily preventable with vaccines?HSC Biology 3.2: Infectious and non infectious disease
The document discusses infectious and non-infectious diseases. Infectious diseases are caused by organisms that can be passed from person to person, such as malaria, tuberculosis, hepatitis, and Ebola. Non-infectious diseases are not caused by organisms and cannot be passed between people, examples include Down syndrome, color blindness, and muscular dystrophy. The document also discusses preventative strategies to limit the spread of infectious diseases like quarantine.
Transmission of zika virus
Zika virus is transmitted primarily through the bites of infected Aedes mosquitoes. It can also be transmitted from mother to child during pregnancy or childbirth, through sexual contact, and rarely through blood transfusions. While many infected people have no symptoms or only mild symptoms, Zika infection during pregnancy can cause microcephaly and other severe brain defects in babies. Current outbreaks are occurring in many countries and territories in Africa, Southeast Asia, the Pacific Islands, and the Americas.
Hiv
HIV stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus. It is a virus that infects and damages cells of the immune system. When the immune system is severely damaged by HIV, the final stage of HIV infection is called AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome). AIDS leaves the body unable to fight life-threatening infections and diseases. There are various ways HIV can be transmitted, including through unprotected sexual intercourse, contact with infected blood, and from mother to child during pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding. While there is currently no vaccine for HIV, prevention efforts focus on safer sex practices and access to clean needles to reduce transmission rates.
Pulse polio
The document discusses the history and ongoing efforts of the Pulse Polio immunization campaign in India. It was established in 1995-1996 to eliminate polio by vaccinating children under age 5.

Tech290
Swine flu, also known as H1N1, has greatly impacted schools in the United States by causing many closures. Schools are high-risk environments for transmitting swine flu due to the close contact between students. In Michigan alone, 194 schools closed due to swine flu, affecting over 71,000 students. The Mount Pleasant school district in Michigan saw the worst outbreak in the state, closing 11 schools with over 3,800 confirmed cases. While vaccinations are available, there is only enough for high-risk patients currently. Proper prevention measures like hand washing are important to help control the spread of this virus.
Facts About Swine Flu
Swine flu symptoms are similar to regular flu and include fever, fatigue, lack of appetite, and cold symptoms. While most people feel better within 2-3 weeks, some high risk groups can develop severe complications. Antiviral drugs like Tamiflu and Relenza can reduce symptom duration if taken within 48 hours, and are prescribed based on symptoms and risk factors. Proper hand washing, covering coughs and sneezes, avoiding sick people, and getting vaccinated can help prevent spread of the virus.
Aids

Strategies for eradication include maintaining high vaccination rates, surveillance to rapidly detect outbreaks, and supplemental immunization activities. Effective measles vaccination requires at least 90% national coverage along with follow up campaigns every few years. Hurdles to eradication include weak health systems and difficulties vaccinating all populations.
Infant mortality.pdf
Infant mortality is defined as the death of an infant before their first birthday. The infant mortality rate is the number of infant deaths per 1,000 live births. Leading causes of infant mortality include preterm birth, low birth weight, congenital abnormalities, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, infectious diseases, malnutrition, and lack of access to basic healthcare. Factors that contribute to higher infant mortality rates include socioeconomic challenges, environmental conditions like air pollution, and lack of policies supporting maternal health and early childhood development. Reducing infant mortality requires improved access to prenatal care, nutrition, sanitation, immunizations, and social support systems.
Importance of immunization
The Extended Program on Immunization (EPI) aims to reduce illness, disability, and mortality from 8 childhood diseases through immunization: polio, neonatal tetanus, measles, diphtheria, pertussis, hepatitis B, Hib pneumonia/meningitis, and tuberculosis. EPI provides safe and effective vaccines for these diseases, which currently cause millions of cases and deaths annually. The program's goals are to immunize over 95% of infants and pregnant women, eliminating diseases like neonatal tetanus and reducing mortality from vaccine-preventable diseases by 2/3 compared to 2000. EPI has been implemented in Pakistan since 1978 through routine immunization, supplemental immunization activities, disease surveillance, and

Statistical analysis on household factors influencing annual episodes of malaria
Malaria is responsible for about 66 per cent of all clinic visits in Nigeria. It accounts for 25% of under-5 mortality, 30% childhood mortality and 11% maternal mortality. At least 50% of the population will have at least one episode of malaria annually. Moreover, environment dictates the incidence and prevalence of diseases all over the world and if timely action is not taken, it may lead to diseases. Three (3) out of six (6) major towns in Ido local government area are considered and accumulated one hundred and ninety one (191) individuals as respondents using haphazard non probability sampling technique for selection. The obtained data through questionnaire was presented on frequency table and charts while inferential statistics were analysed using dummy variables in regression. It was revealed that majority of the respondents suffered from one or more incidences of malaria in a year, where female had the higher percentage of the incidence and there was high incidence of malaria among the adult ages 30years and above. The qualitative predictor variable in regression analysis revealed significant relationship between annual episode of malaria and number of members of household, toilet type, absent ceiling, building type, disposable site and source of domestic water. The ANOVA, F – test was significant for all predicted factors. Conclusively, in the view of the discovery, it was therefore recommended that people need awareness on densely populated area / household are more prone to experience more episodes of malaria incidence than sparsely populated one, encouragement on utilization of closed domestic water system instead of open system to avoid reservoir for mosquito, enlightenment on type toilet used and avoid absence ceiling to prevent being a breeding site for mosquitoes, government to stage more campaign against malaria especially for adult not for children under 5year alone and create a task force officer/ sanitary inspectors to checkmate sanitation of our environment to avoid unkempt toilet habit which serves as breeding site for mosquitoes.

Eight millennium goals
- 1. The Eight Millennium Goals Team: Itzi Susano Carbajal Christopher Malpica Andrea Mendez Raúl Rodriguez
- 3. andrea Causes: Pneumonia: A severe respiratory infection, kills more than 2 million children each year. Pneumonia accounts for almost one in five deaths of children under five years of age, only one in five caregivers in developing countries can recognize the danger signs of pneumonia. Diarrhoea: Caused by germs that are swallowed, causes severe dehydration and kills an estimated 1.9 million children under–five years of age each year. Unsafe drinking water, inadequate availability of water for hygiene and lack of access to sanitation together contribute to 88 per cent of under–five deaths from diarrhoea diseases.
- 4. raul Malaria: Kills over 1 million people and sickens between 350 million and 500 million people each year. Children with malaria, a parasitic, mosquito–borne disease, typically develop fever, vomiting, headache and flu–like symptoms one to two weeks after being bitten. If not treated promptly with effective medicines, malaria can kill. Measles: Spreads through airborne droplets that circulate in infected coughs and sneezes. The best way to prevent measles is to get vaccinated with the safe and effective measles vaccine.
- 5. Malpica HIV and AIDS: are directly affecting millions of children, adolescents and young people. Scale–up for children is not advancing as rapidly as it is for adults. The provision of antiretrovirals to pregnant women living with HIV can reduce the transmission during pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding to levels below 2 per cent, yet coverage is still below 10 per cent. Under–nutrition: is an underlying cause in more than half (53 per cent) of the 10.5 million child deaths each year. When it does not kill, malnutrition can leave children mentally and physically impaired. Illness, insufficient breastfeeding and shortfalls of food and micronutrients are the most immediate causes of under–nutrition.
