Cloud Computing: Could it Save a Child’s Life?Part 2 of 2:
http://gplus.ly/1PMBShmThese three statistics on the vulnerability of young kids around the world really are quite shocking:
1) More than 6 million kids aged 4 or below die every year from causes that could be prevented, according to UNICEF.
2) Almost 20,000 boys and girls in that low age bracket die daily of diseases that could be avoided.
3) The majority of poor, non-industrialized countries have approximately 1 doctor per 1,000 people, compared to 3-6 doctors per thousand in an average “first-world” nation such as the US or UK.
For anyone with compassion, these numbers are heart-breaking even if they seem overwhelming. Doctors will often dedicate pro-bono time to finding solutions for this incredible and ongoing humanitarian crisis.
