Description: In commemoration of Mother's Day, Save the Children is publishing its eighth annual State of the World's Mothers report. The focus is on the 28,000 children under age 5 who die every day from easily preventable or treatable causes and the tragic fact that basic, lifesaving remedies still are not reaching millions of mothers and children in need. This report helps to bring attention to low-cost solutions that have the greatest potential to save lives. It also identifies countries that are succeeding in tackling this problem, showing that effective solutions to this challenge are affordable &em; even in the world's poorest countries. Excerpt from the press release: Egypt has made the most progress since 1990 &emdash; and Iraq the least &emdash; in saving the lives of children under 5, according to the eighth annual State of the World's Mothers report issued today by Save the Children. Canada's ranking has dropped from 5th to 25th of the 43 most developed countries (with the inclusion of new survey criteria, such as pre-primary school enrollment, and the exclusion of indicators that most wealthier countries are doing well on, such as access to safe water and malnutrition.)
