Each year, millions of women and children die from preventable

causes. These are not mere statistics. They are people with names

and faces. Their suffering is unacceptable in the 21st century. We

must, therefore, do more for the newborn who succumbs to infection

for want of a simple injection, and for the young boy who will never

reach his full potential because of malnutrition. We must do more

for the teenage girl facing an unwanted pregnancy; for the married

woman who has found she is infected with the HIV virus; and for the

mother who faces complications in childbirth.
