Abstract:
Convinced that if parents could be reached with today's health knowledge and supported in putting it into use, child survival and development would experience a great forward surge, WHO, Unicef and Unesco have compiled a ten chapter summary of the essential information parents need. This booklet is Facts for Life, but more than a publication, it is a movement and the handbook of a grand alliance of communicators.
