An initiative for better health of abandoned children

Presented By: Neha Pandey



Children represent the future, and ensuring their healthy growth and development should be the primary responsibility of all class of society.

In 2011, more children under the age of five died in India than anywhere else in the world.

Diarrhoea was responsible for 13% of child deaths in India in 2010 – the second-highest rate after Afghanistan.

Children from the poorest communities are three times more likely to die before they reach the age of 5 than those from high income groups.


•Despite health improvements over the last thirty years, lives continue to be lost to early childhood diseases, inadequate newborn care and childbirth-related causes.•The UN estimates that 2.1 million Indian children die before reaching the age of 5 every year – four every minute – mostly from preventable illnesses such as diarrhoea, typhoid, malaria, measles, pneumonia. •Infant mortality in India is as high as 63 deaths per 1,000 live births.•Leading causes of death in under-five children are pneumonia, preterm birth complications, diarrhoea, birth asphyxia and malaria. About one third of all child deaths are linked to malnutrition.


Maternal deaths are similarly high. The reasons for this high mortality are that few women have access to skilled birth attendants and fewer still to quality emergency obstetric care. In addition, only 15 per cent of mothers receive complete antenatal care and only 58 per cent receive iron tablets or syrup.

As per the report, India ranks fifth from below on the list of countries with highest percentage of children born with low birth-weight.


•To create awareness among parents about the health needs of children.•To suggest proper ways and means to parents for protecting their child from various diseases.•To provide some basic technical knowledge to the parents about health emergency.•To teach some good and healthy manners to the children for good health.•To provide free of cost medical check up facility to poor children.
