Child Mortality Has Been Cut in Half in the Past 25 Years

Some of the very best news in the world-is-getting-better watch is about our continuing success in reducing child mortality.

Moreover, the fastest gains come in the worst places, where sanitation practices which are common in developed countries make immediate improvements when brought to developing countries.  We can expect more good news like this in the next twenty five years.
