He took to Twitter, and someone asked him 25 years ago why children die. Gates ran a blog and wrote that he thinks it is an essential question "why do children die?" Gates said that as a society, we must understand why children die and do something to save them.

Bill Gates accepted that child mortality is very tough to discuss and said he could never imagine losing a child as a parent. He added that it is shocking to see the words "die" and "children" in the same sentence.


Improvement in the Past and Future
Bill Gates added that the world had made significant progress in this area in the past few decades, and the number of children, who die in a year, has reduced by over half since 1990.
