Analysing child mortality may enhance our perspective on global achievements in
child survival. We used data from surveillance sites in Bangladesh, Nicaragua and
Vietnam and Demographic Health Surveys in Rwanda to explore the development of
neonatal and under-five mortality. The mortality curves showed dramatic
reductions over time, but child mortality in the four countries peaked during
wars and catastrophes and was rapidly reduced by targeted interventions,
multisectorial development efforts and community engagement. CONCLUSION: Lessons
learned from these countries may be useful when tackling future challenges,
including persistent neonatal deaths, survival inequalities and the consequences
of climate change and migration.
