The Lancet: Mapping geographical inequalities in childhood diarrhoeal morbidity and mortality in LMICs (2)

8 June, 2020

Dear Neil and CHIFA members,

This is a very important document, as... the lack of sanitation and clean water sources plus sewage containers, etc are the main causes of diarrhoeal dieases (social determinants of health/diseases) in LMIC and lack of hygiene and health education, etc.

Poor parents are not the culprits, for sure, but the main victims, as children are vulnerable all over the world and need more social protection, and their own health rights!

Brazilian Regards,

Evelyn Eisenstein
