大多数国家在2000年批准的千年发展目标为减贫、消除饥饿、教育、两性平等、健康和环境可持续性设定了具体目标。千年发展目标4旨在降低儿童死亡率，具体目标是在1990-2015年期间将五岁以下儿童死亡率降低三分之二。在过去一年里，“援助生命，让贫穷成为历史”、八国集团首脑会议和著名的演艺界人士对发展和健康给予了前所未有的关注。非洲尤其受到关注。报告发表了，承诺也作出了，但是否有真实的进展？穷人是否得到基本保健？谁将对领导人负责：名人、活动家还是卫生专业人员？
The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), ratified by most nations in 2000, set specific targets for poverty reduction, eradication of hunger, education, gender equality, health and environmental sustainability. MDG 4 aims to reduce child mortality with a target of reducing under-five mortality rates by two thirds over the period 1990-2015. Over the last year, Live Aid, Make Poverty History, the G8 summits and prominent entertainers have directed unprecedented attention towards development and health. Africa particularly has been in the spotlight. Reports are published and commitments are made, but is there real progress? Are poor people being reached with essential health care? Who will hold leaders to account: celebrities, activists or health professionals?
