From The Podcast

Rhona MacDonald, Senior Editor at 'The Lancet', presented 'Fatal Neglect:Forgotten issues in child health' beginning by highlighting that there are10 million child deaths every year and asked, "How is this acceptable?" Lackof access to clean water and improved sanitation is responsible for a largeproportion of these child deaths, yet these key challenges continue to beneglected in the global health agenda, despite being included in MillenniumDevelopment Goals agreed by all the world's countries and leadingdevelopment institutions.She challenged the audience to take action in prioritising water, sanitationand hygiene interventions - where every $1 invested in water and sanitationgenerates a $8 return - emphasising that, in this issue, "Complacency iscomplicity."Symposium panel members included David Mepham (Director of Policy, Save theChildren UK), Mikael Ostergren (Department for Child & Adolescent Health &Development, World Health Organization), Logan Brenzel (Senior HealthSpecialist, World Bank) and Pascale Hofmann (UCL Development Planning Unit)
