== Merge with article on child survival? == 

 I was surprised to find today that this article on child mortality is still very under-developed, whilst it is such an important topic - well, at least in the developing countries context! Links to sanitation and hygiene pages need to be added! Also, I would like to propose that it is merged with the article on child survival which is also short at this stage. Or if not, then both articles need to be built up in parallel: this one would then only focus on causes of death, but not on any prevention measures. And the other one would focus on prevention measures. In general though, I think the term child mortality would be more familiar to people that child survival. We also don't speak of infant survival, human survival etc.
