As laid out in the Convention on the Rights of the Child, all children have a right to survival. This means more than the mere avoidance of death. It also embraces the right to wellbeing and to protection from disease. Although children face threats to their survival throughout their childhood and adolescence, the greatest mortality rates are found in the under-fives. Therefore, this chapter focuses on this age group. Information on the health of adolescents can be found in the chapters on Maternal Mortality and HIV/AIDS.
