Show Notes
New UN estimates reveal a concerning trend: nearly five million children died before their fifth birthday in 2024, indicating a slowdown in global efforts to reduce child mortality. Most of these deaths were preventable with better healthcare and simple interventions. Conflicts, economic instability, climate change, and weak health systems are hindering progress, with recent aid cuts from major donors threatening to reverse hard-won gains. Global health aid fell by nearly 27% in 2025, potentially leading to a reversal in child survival gains. Without immediate action, these trends could stall progress and put millions more children at risk.
