Dr. McGuffey

1) Personal opinion on child mortality rates?

    Knows it is a large problem, happy the rate is decreasing

    Have more care available to families in need

    If we are giving these families help and showing them the correct way to take care of certain situations then they will be able to teach their children and also friends.
