In an historical perspective covering the last 20 years, the influenceof scientific knowledge on international health and nutrition programsis described, together with the development of children’srights. Current statistical data indicate that there has been some butstill insufficient progress on achieving major improvements in thehealth and nutrition of children – particularly in poorer countries. Integratedmulti-sectoral programs could increase emphasis on linksbetween infant and young child and on pre- and post-natal maternalhealth, taking into account social and environmental factors. This approachshould reduce paediatric morbidity and mortality and counteractmany long-term health risks, including the development ofoverweight. Further development of related legislation is an importantprecondition for maternal-child health improvements
