Mirroring this mortality reduction—but less easily quantified—are marked improvements in healthrelated quality of life. She will be able to choose to have fewer children and thus spend less time in pregnancy and child rearing. 3. She will have fewer infections, less anemia, greater strength and stature, and a quicker mind. Her life is not only much longer; it is much healthier as well. Chile’s history of health improvements is unusually well documented but typifies changes that have occurred in much of the world.
Although health improvements constituted an enormous success for human welfare in the 20th century, four critical challenges face developing countries (and the world) at the beginning of the 21st century: • high levels and rapid growth (for mostly demographic reasons) of noncommunicable conditions in the disease profiles of developing countries • the still unchecked HIV/AIDS pandemic • the possibility of a successor to the influenza pandemic of 1918 • the persistence in many countries and many population subgroups of high but preventable levels of mortality and disability from diseases such as malaria, TB, diarrhea, and pneumonia; from micronutrient malnutrition; and, for both mothers and infants, from childbirth.
