The child survival revolution of the 1980s contributed to steady decreases in child mortality in some populations, but much remains to be done. More than 10 million children will die this year, almost all of whom are poor. Two-thirds of these deaths could have been prevented if effective child survival interventions had reached all children and mothers who needed them. Translation of current knowledge into effective action for child survival will require leadership, strong health systems, targeted human and financial resources, and modified health system to ensure that poor children and mothers benefit. A group of concerned scientists and policy-makers issues a call to action to leaders, governments, and citizens to translate knowledge into action for child survival.
20世纪80年代的儿童生存革命促使一些人群中的儿童死亡率稳步下降，但仍有许多工作要做。今年将有超过1000万儿童死亡，其中几乎全部是贫困儿童。如果有效的儿童生存干预措施能够惠及所有需要的儿童和母亲，那么这些死亡中的三分之二是可以避免的。将现有知识转化为有效的儿童生存行动需要领导力、强大的卫生系统、有针对性的人力和财政资源，以及经过改进的卫生系统，以确保贫困儿童和母亲受益。一群忧心忡忡的科学家和政策制定者呼吁领导人、政府和公民将知识转化为儿童生存行动。
