The number of under-five deaths worldwide has decreased from 12.7M in 1990 to 6.3M in 2013. All regions except Sub-Saharan Africa and Oceania have reduced the rate by 52 percent or more. Pneumonia, diarrhea and malaria remain leading causes of death among children under age five. These improvements were possible thanks to the interventions against the leading infectious diseases, such as immunization, mosquito nets, rehydration treatment for diarrhea or nutritional supplements.

Very interesting post, though I'm interested in what the data in the bar graph represents!
