The Executive Director, UNICEF was reviewing the UNICEF 2014 report on the progress made by the WHO countries towards achieving the fourth Millennium Development Goal MDG 4. The MDG 4 called for reduction in U5 mortality (U5 represents children less than 5 years old) by a two-third between 1990 and 2015. The report mentioned 6.6 million children died in the year 2012. He realized that many countries were not likely to chive MDG 4 and therefore called for a meeting to discuss the report in detail and evolve future strategies to improve child health.
