USAID: “Global health and child survival: Progress report to Congress 2010-2011”
Between 1990 and 2010, in countries with tuberculosis (TB) programs supported by USAID, TB death rates decreased by 29 percent, and TB prevalence rates declined by 14 percent.
In the last 20 years, the world has saved more than 50 million children's lives and reduced maternal mortality by one-third. These accomplishments have been the result of good science, good management, bipartisan political support, the engagement of USAID and many other U.S. Government agencies, and the participation of faith-based organizations, civil society, and the private sector.
The American people and their partners can feel very proud of their contributions to these extraordinary achievements. With prospects for ending preventable child and maternal deaths, creating an AIDS-free generation, and laying the foundations for universal health coverage, future generations will look back at this period as a turning point in the history of global health.
