Malnutrition, immunisable illness and diarrhoeal diseases are the main causes of morbidity and mortality in Third World children. War and other disasters, rapid social change and AIDS add to these problems, and the debts of Third World countries cripple their efforts to deal with them. The World Summit for Children formulated an ambitious set of goals for the world's children by the year 2000 and there are signs that improvements in basic child health services can be achieved in this decade.
