EVERY ONE Campaign For Trained Birth Attendants, Health Workers
EVERY ONE campaign is a call by Save the Children for global action to save the lives of millions of children who die each year from preventable or treatable causes. As part of the campaign, it is campaigning for trained birth attendants and health workers for every mother and newborn in Bangladesh, says a press release. Skilled birth attendants and health workers can make a big difference in reducing preventable deaths in children. Of the children under the age of 5 who die each year, almost 2/3 could be saved with the simple low-cost interventions delivered by health workers in clinics and in their communities. With attention from developing country governments and donor nations, we can help them bring life saving care to more hard to reach communities and make the survival of children a reality worldwide. Every child — no matter where they are born — has an equal right and deserves an equal chance to survive. The campaign's aim is to place a health worker in reach of every child in need and then many lives will be saved.
