Micronutrients aren't one single intervention. In the case of diarrheal disease, there is the provision of zinc supplements, about a 10-day course of them. Every child who has diarrheal disease won't be saved, but there's about a 20% mortality reduction when a child receives zinc supplements along with oral rehydration therapy. We could significantly reduce the number of child deaths from diarrhea by using zinc in association with oral rehydration therapy. So your 1.5 million children, that's going to reduce by about 20%. There are many children who are currently being treated with oral rehydration therapy. Some live, some don't. Providing that additional zinc supplement would reduce deaths in children.
In the case of vitamin A, we have fairly good coverage. Vitamin A strengthens a child's immune system and helps a child survive illnesses such as measles. It boosts their immune systems. Most studies have shown that two doses of vitamin A per year for the first five years of life reduces the overall child mortality rate by about 20% to 25%. We have pretty good coverage of vitamin A supplementation around the world, and probably 75% of those children who are deficient in vitamin A are getting the vitamin A supplements. Actually, it's probably a bit higher than that. The children we're currently missing are those who are the hardest to reach with health services, so it's geographic. This is why the Micronutrient Initiative is putting an emphasis on the front-line trained health care workers who can actually go out. If we can reach those children with vitamin A supplementation, we can also reach them with an integrated package of services, including bed nets and things that Canada funds.
