世界卫生大会已批准了新的儿童和青少年健康战略方向，旨在减少儿童死亡和长期残疾 1。该战略针对全球严峻的儿童健康危机而制定：2000年有1080万5岁以下儿童死亡，其中超过一半死于5种可预防的传染病和营养不良，99%的死亡病例发生在发展中国家 1。每年约有1100万儿童面临可预防疾病的死亡威胁 1。
为应对这一危机，新战略确立了7个优先行动领域，涵盖母幼卫生、营养、可预防传染病、伤害防护、物理环境、青少年健康和心理健康 1。青少年健康问题同样严峻：全球有1.2十亿青少年面临HIV/AIDS、烟酒使用、抑郁症、自杀和暴力等多重威胁，每年有1.4百万青少年死亡 1。每天全球青少年中新增6000例HIV感染，有250人因此丧生，另有1400人死于伤害，1万人自杀未遂，16000名女孩遭受性虐待 1。
然而，实现这一战略仍面临资金挑战。世界卫生组织官员Dr Tomris Turmen指出："近年来儿童卫生资金减少，这必须扭转。这种政治意愿的表达必须以更多资金和人力资源支持" 1。
The World Health Assembly has adopted a new strategic direction for child and adolescent health aimed at reducing childhood mortality and long-term disability.1 According to the strategy, approximately 11 million children annually face threats from preventable diseases, with 10.8 million children under five dying in 2000—more than half succumbing to five preventable infectious diseases and malnutrition.1 Critically, 99 percent of these childhood deaths occur in developing countries.1
The initiative identifies seven priority action areas to address these challenges: maternal and infant health, nutrition, preventable communicable diseases, injury prevention, physical environment, adolescent health, and mental health.1 Beyond young children, the strategy recognizes that 1.4 million adolescents die annually and approximately 1.2 billion adolescents globally face health threats including HIV/AIDS, substance use, depression, suicide, and violence.1 Daily statistics underscore the scope of the crisis: 6,000 new HIV infections occur among adolescents, 250 young people die by suicide, 1,400 die from injuries, and 16,000 girls suffer sexual abuse.1
Dr. Tomris Turmen emphasized the urgency of resource mobilization, stating: "Funding for child health has declined in recent years and this must be reversed. This expression of political will must be backed by greater financial and human resources."1
