  8. c Perspectives from experts show that a focus on women and children could have high impact International foundations Research/academia For too many women it [motherhood] is associated with suffering, ill-health and even death. … children are vulnerable to malnutrition and infectious diseases, many of which can be effectively prevented or treated – World Health Organization In Pakistan, 1 mother dies every 20 minutes… and 500,000 children under five die every year, which is unacceptable… These issues need to be tackled on war footing– Dr. Babar T. Sheikh, Aga Khan University NGOs Government …the government has spent lots of money - mostly borrowed or begged – on MNCH (maternal and child health) and yet indicators are so poor relative to countries such as Nepal, India and Bangladesh – Farid Midhet, Safe Motherhood Alliance Pakistan …proven health interventions can help in saving lives of mothers, newborns and children and most of the causes are preventable and manageable/treatable – Islamabad Declaration on Maternal and Child Health, Government of Pakistan, 2005 SOURCE: Interviews, press release, web search The Aman Foundation www.amanfoundation.org
