The paper explores and then establishes the role of infant and child mortality on fertility levels in Pakistan, largely because of universal and prolonged breastfeeding practices in the country It is found that the tendency to compensate for child death is stronger among those couples who had a male child loss than among those with experiences of female child losses. 11 is contended that if the Population Welfare Programme is to be implemented successfully in Pakistan, the current emphasis on supply of contraceptive services will have to yield to that on more comprehensive maternal and child health services.

And Child Health

In tropical Africa the primordial presence of enormous young child death rates precludes a successful frontal attack on birth rates through specialized programs. Experience in Nigeria indicates that gradual, quiet pressure can influence the power structure to tolerate and eventually espouse child spacing as an integral part of a program of services for child saving. The approach involves four phases: a low visibility start; obtaining high level acceptance; establishment of a federal training center to train cadres for state training programs; and deployment of trained primary care auxiliaries as a local maternal and child health-family planning service. In tropical Africa governmental attitudes toward family planning range from positive policy, to neutrality, to strong opposition. At present most Anglophone countries are favorable. Most Francophone countries are opposed. The general trend is toward a more favorable attitude toward family planning when it is a part of maternal and child health services.

The prevalence of nutritional problems in Banten is very high, namely 27,8% stunting and less than 15% nutrition, one of the causes is improper feeding practices for babies and children. The practice of ICF and the activeness of maternal and child health services of cadres in providing assistance to mothers who have children is expected to be able to reduce nutritional problems. This study aims to identify the role of cadres in assisting mothers to practice Infant and Child Feeding (ICF). the research was conducted a cross-sectional study. The sample is cadres of maternal and child health services, who have received training on ICF as many as 30 cadres with a purposive sampling technique. Collecting data using a questionnaire related to the characteristics of cadres including age, education, occupation, length of time as a cadre, and level of knowledge of cadres. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test. As a result, there were 43,3% of cadres who were active in assisting mothers in feeding practices. There is no relationship between characteristics and the role of cadres in providing assistance to mothers of toddlers in providing food (p> 0,05). In conclusion, the characteristics of cadres have no relationship with their role in providing assistance to infant feeding. Cadres can play a more active role in mentoring mothers related to providing food to children.

One of the principal determinants of population growth is mortality. The level of female child mortality is often taken as indicator of health conditions, but these may be in general regarded as an indicator of the development of a society and an important indicator of overall development of a country. In this paper, the probability model for number of female child death among women, have been derived. The application of the model in the paper is illustrated through its application to the data from Raebareli district of Uttar Pradesh from Concurrent Assessment of Health & Family Welfare Programs and Technical Support to District of Uttar Pradesh (CATA, 2005-06). The models are estimated on the basis of observed set of data and are tested for their suitability.

And Child Health

In 2007, the Indonesian government introduced Generasi, a community-driven development program to address village priorities such as reducing poverty, maternal mortality, and child mortality. When describing Generasi’s biggest challenges, program facilitators on the eastern Indonesian island of Flores used a geographic vocabulary of fields (medan, lapangan) and topography (topografi) that evokes the demands of supervising Generasi’s implementation across dozens of mountain villages with poor infrastructure. But their geographic language also extends metaphorically to the enduring problems of scale and governance. I analyze these discourses of topography and field in relation to the changing therapeutic landscape of maternal and child health services in the Manggarai highlands of western Flores, then follow Generasi’s scalar scaffolding from the meetings and clinics in villages, to the technocratic policy work in Jakarta, and to the academic spaces of Auckland and Cambridge.
