The prevention of child mortality should remain a global priority. But beyond sheer survival, children have a right to thrive, develop in a holistic way to their full potential and enjoy good physical and mental health in a sustainable world. The present report argues that early childhood, a crucial time for effective investments in individual and societal health, must receive significantly more attention and a more adequate response from all relevant actors, including in the post-2015 agenda.
