BORN TO DIE ?: The Truth About Child Mortality and The Fight to End it (Books That Fight Back Series)
Every year, millions of young lives slip away quietly. Most could have been saved. A vaccine. Clean drinking water. A doctor's visit. Yet silence surrounds these deaths, and few ask the difficult questions that demand answers. Why do governments look away? Why do healthcare facilities turn grieving mothers aside? Why haven't we solved problems we've known about for decades? This investigation strips back the comfortable narratives to expose a crisis the world prefers to ignore. Seelam brings you face to face with families shattered by broken systems, with parents broken by loss, and with decision-makers who've chosen politics over paediatric care. These are the stories that should horrify us all. Within these pages, you'll discover what actually kills children in 2024 and why prevention remains out of reach. You'll understand the ripple effects across families and economies, the role superstition and cultural resistance play, and how political failures compound each tragedy. But there's more: real, working solutions already exist in pockets across the globe. What's missing is the will to expand them. This book isn't passive. It asks what you're prepared to do. Whether you're drawn to investigative reporting, human rights advocacy, or simply believe every child deserves to live, you'll find your assumptions questioned and your conscience stirred. Uncomfortable truths await inside. Are you prepared to confront them?
