Tanzania is making considerable progress in the reduction of child mortality. Under-five mortality rates continue to drop from 112 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2005 to 81 in 2010. The deaths of infants under one year also decreased from 68 to 51 per 1,000 live births over the same period.
ReplyDeleteThe continuing decline can be attributed to Government commitments to increase use of key health interventions, such as sustained high coverage of routine under-five immunization, Vitamin A supplementation, the use of insecticide treated bed nets and better drugs to treat malaria. Despite improvements, about 390 children under five die every day of mainly preventable and treatable conditions.

At one particular time Tanzania and Kenya each were growing at a million people a year, what is important is to plan knowing that if say we are losing 300000 for natural causes and other incidents and accidents what is important is to always plan for additional supply of water, housing, land and other resources knowing there is an increase of about 700,000 every year to avoid being caught of guard.
