“Many infants and children die unjustly before 5 years,” says who in his 3 -year report – the suicide of the first cause of death to young people 15 to 29 years old
Complications associated with prematureness, suffocation at birth or infections caused death in 2022, which could in some cases be avoided, 75,647 under 5 children under 5 in Europe, according to a report by the World Health Organization published today.
Congenital heart disease and neonatal septicemia are among the five main causes of these deaths, according to this report on 53 countries in Europe and Central Asia, including 27 EU member states, and 930 million people.
“Many infants and children still die unjustly before their five years »he wrote where Europe wrote in his three -year report.
In the region of Europe, where some of the most robust health systems in the world are located, there is stagnation or even a decline in a number of indicators, mainly in terms of the health of children and adolescents, the WHO emphasized.
Although the rate of mortality among children under the age of 5 remains very low in Europe, the differences between countries are remarkable. Most EU countries record 1.5 to 4.1 deaths per 1,000 births, while in Turkmenistan and Tajikistan the rate is 18.2 to 40.4.
“The reduction of this difference remains a challenge“, PEA emphasized.
However, other issues related to the health of children and adolescents are recorded in Europe: 1 teen at 5 faces some psychological condition, Suicide remains the first cause of death for young people aged 15 to 29, girls report a consistently lower level of mental health than boys.
In addition, 15% of adolescents say they have fallen victim to online harassment, a teenager at 10 aged 13 to 15 smoke and almost one child in three reached the age of six being overweight, while one in eight children being obese.
“In our online and connected world our young people feel strangely more alone than ever. Many of them find it difficult to manage their weight and confidence in themselves, which exacerbates their health in adulthood, “warned Hans Klugga’s director of Europe.
The Agency has begun consultations with its 53 countries in order to determine the priorities and action to be taken over the next five years.
