Zusammenfassung

Im globalen Maßstab stellt die Kindersterblichkeit, besonders in Entwicklungsländern, eines der großen Problemfelder der Gesundheitsversorgung dar. Die Vereinten Nationen (UN) haben sich im Jahr 2000 zum Ziel gesetzt, diese bis 2015 um 66 % zu senken. Gezielte Interventionen haben die gesundheitliche Situation der Kinder bis heute schon wesentlich verbessert. Impfungen, bessere Qualität in der Behandlung häufiger Erkrankungen des Kindesalters und die Verbesserung der sozialen Rahmenbedingungen sind dabei wesentliche Bausteine. Die Jugendgesundheit ist ein neu erkanntes Problemfeld. Globale Initiativen und lokales Handeln werden jedoch weiterhin nötig sein, um noch mehr Kindern und Jugendlichen ein gesundes Überleben zu ermöglichen sowie langfristig ihre Entwicklung zu fördern.

Abstract

Globally, child mortality is one of the major health-related problem areas, particularly in developing countries. In 2000 the United Nations (UN) pledged to reduce child mortality by 66 % until 2015. Targeted interventions have ameliorated the health situation of children to a large extent. Vaccines, improved quality of care for common diseases in childhood and improved social determinants of health are essential elements. Adolescent health is a newly recognized problem area. Local action and global initiatives will be further needed to assure healthy survival of children and adolescents and to promote their development on a long-term basis.
