Fantastic to bump into fellow warriors campaigning for better child health and wellbeing outcomes in the UK @Whamproject @RCPCHtweets #RCPCH24

Excited to be at #RCPCH. Feeling inspired by Professor Sir Michael Marmot. It's time to 'put equity of health and wellbeing at the centre of government policies!'

If our minority ethnic infants had the same risk of dying as white infants England would have 12% fewer infant deaths/year. 200 fewer lives lost. If we could avoid this needless mortality our excessive infant mortality rate would reduce to match high income European countries.
Professor Ngozi Edi-Osagie@ngozi_ediosagie
@KarenLuyt @NCMD_England @DavidOdd1 @SylviaStoianova @NHS_RHO Further work needed to identify what can be done to reduce this incidence of infant mortality

1 in 3 children live in poverty in the UK. With @actnforchildren @EndChildPoverty I’ve written to my MP to demand a fairer social security system for families. Will you join me? bit.ly/3qyrBhy
