Health In Tanzania
Health care in Tanzania is poor. 76 in 1,000 children are estimated to die before the age of five. Child mortality in Tanzania has, however, fallen at unprecedented rates over the past 15 years, from 155 per 1,000 live births in 1990. AIDS and malaria are constant drains on health care services.

Famous quotes containing the word health:
“In the continual enterprise of trying to guide appropriately, renegotiate with, listen to and just generally coexist with our teenage children, we ourselves are changed. We learn even more clearly what our base-line virtues are. We listen to our teenagers and change our minds about some things, stretching our own limits. We learn our own capacity for flexibility, firmness and endurance.”
—Jean Jacobs Speizer. Ourselves and Our Children, by Boston Women’s Health Collective, ch. 4 (1978)
