The Regional Child Survival Strategy (RCSS) was launched by the World Health Organization and United Nations Children's Fund in 2006. This initially involved the six highest mortality burden countries in the region (Cambodia, China, Laos PDR, Papua New Guinea, Philippines and Vietnam). This paper aimed to describe the experiences of countries in the region in adopting and implementing the RCSS, and to identify factors that promote and impede progress. Child mortality has fallen substantially since 1990, and the region as a whole is on track to achieve the Millennium Development Goal 4 (MDG-4) targets. Some countries have made slower progress and are struggling. There is an urgent need to support countries that have, until now, not been included in the RCSS, particularly smaller Pacific Island nations, and to provide greater support to the poorest countries if MDG-4 targets for the region are to be achieved.
区域儿童生存战略（RCSS）由世界卫生组织和联合国儿童基金会于2006年发起。该战略最初涉及该区域六个儿童死亡率负担最高的国家（柬埔寨、中国、老挝人民民主共和国、巴布亚新几内亚、菲律宾和越南）。本文旨在描述该区域各国在采用和实施区域儿童生存战略方面的经验，并确定促进和阻碍进展的因素。自1990年以来，儿童死亡率大幅下降，该区域总体上有望实现千年发展目标4（MDG-4）的各项目标。一些国家进展较慢，仍在苦苦挣扎。迫切需要支持迄今未被纳入区域儿童生存战略的国家，特别是较小的太平洋岛国，如果要实现该区域千年发展目标4的各项目标，还需要向最贫穷国家提供更多支持。
