{No Child Born to Die}

8 million children under five years old die every year of preventable and treatable illnesses.

I have just signed the Save the Children petition... please do the same.  No child should die because they can't see a health worker.

@HelloItsGemma and @michelletwinmum set a challenge to write 100 words about a great health professional you have encountered in your life.  Here are my 100 words:

My son was 7 weeks premature - I was whisked to hospital in an ambulance at the initial stages of labour following a phone call with my GP. My son was delivered safely and spent a few weeks on the neonatal ward where the nurses looked after his every need. They were amazing and I can't thank them enough for the attention and care they gave to my precious little bundle. From my GP, to the paramedics, the paediatricians and the midwifes and nurses.... My family and I are so grateful for the level and quality of care we received.
