UNICEF: Child and maternal mortality in Senegal
On 17-19 April, leading global health experts, policy makers and parliamentarians will gather in South Africa for Countdown to 2015 -- a conference on child and maternal mortality. This is one in a series of related stories.
MOUNTING HAMADY, Senegal, 10 April 2008 -- Bintou Sabaly, 21, has given birth to three healthy children in the remote Senegalese village of Mounting Hamady, where no one has access to running water or electricity.
Ms. Sabaly says the biggest development in her recent memory was the creation of the new health centre, located just 5 km away, which serves 10,000 people from 35 surrounding villages. The centre has a pharmacy, examination rooms and even a delivery room
In my village, there is only a small medical station, which is very basic, she says. For me and other women in my village, this health centre is very important because without it, we would need to travel 30 or 40 kilometres, which is very expensive.

Awa Marie Coll Seck - Breaking the Wall of Child Mortality @Falling Walls 2012
According to The Economist, child mortality in Senegal has dropped 40 percent in just five years from 2005-2010, one of fastest reductions the world has ever witnessed. The country had falls of more than eight percent a year since 2005, almost double of the percentage necessary to reach the Millennium Development Goal 4. At Falling Walls, Senegal's health minister Coll Seck will explain how the immunisation and malaria control are the main reasons for these achievements. Professor Awa Marie Coll-Seck has an unparalleled experience as a specialist in infectious diseases in leading hospitals in Dakar, Senegal and Lyon, France, and as a health policy maker with leading roles at the UNAIDS, the Roll Back Malaria (RBM) Partnership, and recognitions like the title of Chevalier de l'Ordre du Mérite de la République Francaise. As Minister of Health, she reformed the health sector in Senegal activating partnerships involving government, civil society and private sector to implement and expand the public health programmes. In her 15 minutes lecture, her unique vision and experience on how financing for malaria and other major diseases, can help save lives in every endemic country and community.

[한국어 정보]
내가 사이다에서 처음 마주친 풍경은 푸른 바다 위에 한 폭의 그림처럼 세워진 십자군 시대의 성채다. 13세기, 유럽에서 건너온 십자군이 쌓은 이 성은 800여년의 시간을 굳건히 버텨냈다. 먼 옛날, 바다 위 격전이 벌어졌던 공간은 이제, 여행객들에게 추억의 한 컷으로 남는다. 성채 한편에는, 아직 예전 모습을 그대로 간직한 탑이 있다. 막 여행을 시작하는 설렘이 에메랄드빛 지중해 물결 위에 느리게 흘러간다.

I first encountered the landscape of the Crusader citadel, built in the cider is like a picture of a width over the blue sea. In the 13th century, the castle gained Crusaders who came from Europe found firmly withstood a time of 800 years. Long ago, this battle took place above sea space now remains for travelers with one cut of memories. On the other hand, the citadel, the tower still looks pristine as it once. The excitement is just beginning the journey flowed slowly over the emerald Mediterranean waves.
[Arabic: Google Translator]
انا اول واجهت المشهد من القلعة الصليبية، التي بنيت في عصير التفاح هو مثل صورة لعرض فوق البحر الأزرق. في القرن 13th، اكتسبت قلعة الصليبيين الذين جاءوا من أوروبا وجدت صمدت بقوة وقت 800 عاما. منذ فترة طويلة، أخذت هذه المعركة مكان فوق مساحة البحر يبقى الآن للمسافرين مع واحد قطع من الذكريات. من ناحية أخرى، القلعة، برج لا تزال تبدو البكر لأنها مرة واحدة. الإثارة هي مجرد بداية تدفقت الرحلة ببطء عبر موجات البحر الأبيض المتوسط الزمرد.
