0:00:06.2 - 0:00:13.1 More than 8 million children die every year.
How do you feel about that?
0:00:14.5 - 0:00:23.8 It's really cruel that children that young
don't get to live long... more experience in life.
0:00:27.3 - 0:00:30.1 What would you recommend leaders do to reduce
child mortality?
0:00:32.2 - 0:00:59.2 First of all, they should improve the health
campaigns which I feel have weakened, foster education in particular during pregnancy and
the early years, the education on health and hygiene in the households.
Since we know that one of the biggest problems is the infectious diseases which causes that
children get sick and could die.
0:01:00.0 - 0:01:05.9 To improve the nutrition, protection, education
among other things.
0:01:06.5 - 0:01:17.9 I think it is related to education, information,
and also pregnancy at an early age and the health system which is a very complicated
theme.
0:01:18.2 - 0:01:31.5 I think we have to start by looking what are
the real problems of the population to identify what are the deficiencies and based on that
create a development plan that would really address their real needs.
0:01:33.2 -0:01:36.7 How's child mortality in your country?
0:01:39.0 - 0:01:45.9 I believe it's quite high the index of child
mortality
0:01:46.3 - 0:01:52.8 With extreme poverty it's very sad to see
that children die due to lack of resources
0:01:54.4- 0:01:56.2 How far is your home from the closest hospital?
0:01:57.9 -0:02:00.0 It's around 20 minutes
0:02:00.6 - 0:02:02.4 Fortunately, it's not that far from home
0:02:03.6 - 0:02:08.0 It's around 10 minutes from home. In the past
was really far.
0:02:09.6 - 0:02:12.0 What happened the last time you got sick?
0:02:13.0 - 0:02:14.9 I have to be transfered to a number of medical
facilities.
0:02:16.5 - 0:02:30.0 Not long ago, there was something wrong with
my kidneys and I had to go for treatment. I had to go to the doctor which required lots
of money. Unfortunately many people don't have those resources
