Mara battling child deaths here Headline goes here

CCM presidential running mate Samia Suluhu Hassan has promised to end maternal and newborn deaths by improving healthcare systems in the country.

Child mortality has fallen by more than 50% since 1990, a report by the World Health Organization and UN children's organisation Unicef says.

>As world leaders brace themselves for the launch of a new global development agenda, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Tanzania’s success in curbing child mortality seems to attract world attention, mainly for good reasons.

The United Nations Secretary General, Mr Ban Ki-moon, has applauded Tanzania for decreasing maternal and neonatal deaths in line with the 2015 Millennium Goals.

Newly developed formula for treating water has proved to be effective in reducing episodes of diarrhoea by 54 per cent.

Leaders and public health experts from around the world yesterday opened a landmark two-day forum here and called for accelerated action to improve maternal, newborn and child health.

The war against preventable birth-related deaths of mothers cannot be won as long as the practice of child marriage continues, it has been explained.
