The Lancet offers free edition to support child-survival campaign

From Richard Horton, The Lancet

Eight million children are either stillborn or die each year within the
first month of life. This figure never makes news.

The issue of child survival is a moral as well as a health barometer of our
times. The aim of the present Lancet series (Neonatal Survival) is to erase
the excuse of ignorance for public and political inaction once and for all.

This series is the product of a partnership between scientists, health
workers, and journal editors. Together we can make a difference to the lives
of those who have no voice.

We believe that this is the most important public health campaign we have
taken part in for a generation. It is for this reason that we are making
this special issue available at no cost to all 1.1 million registered users
of thelancet.com.

Simply click through this link: www.activemag.co.uk/lancet.htm* to a digital edition of this entire 56-page special issue. Please also feel free to forward this email to your colleagues.

Yours sincerely,

Richard Horton
