Measles remains an important cause of childhood mortality, especially in developing countries. In the joint Strategic Plan for Measles Mortality Reduction, 2001-2005, the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) targeted 45 priority countries with high measles burden for implementation of a comprehensive strategy for accelerated and sustained measles mortality reduction. Components of this strategy include achieving high routine vaccination coverage (>/=90%) in every district and ensuring that all children receive a second opportunity for measles immunization. In May 2003, the World Health Assembly endorsed a resolution urging member countries to reduce deaths attributed to measles by half (compared with 1999 estimates) by the end of 2005. This report updates progress toward this goal and summarizes recent recommendations on methods to estimate global measles mortality.
麻疹仍然是儿童死亡的一个重要原因，尤其是在发展中国家。在《2001 - 2005年降低麻疹死亡率联合战略计划》中，世界卫生组织（WHO）和联合国儿童基金会（UNICEF）将45个麻疹负担沉重的重点国家作为目标，实施一项全面战略以加速并持续降低麻疹死亡率。该战略的组成部分包括在每个地区实现高常规疫苗接种覆盖率（≥90%），并确保所有儿童都有第二次接种麻疹疫苗的机会。2003年5月，世界卫生大会批准了一项决议，敦促成员国到2005年底将麻疹所致死亡人数减半（与1999年的估计数相比）。本报告更新了朝着这一目标取得的进展，并总结了近期关于全球麻疹死亡率估算方法的建议。
