摘要
Since its inception 3 decades ago the Asia-Pacific Academic Consortium for Public Health (APACPH) has emphasized improving the health of disadvantaged and minority groups. In 1990, APACPH held a conference in Kathmandu with the theme, The Girl Child in Asia: A Neglected Majority. Over the past 3 decades, the mortality rates for all children, particularly girls, have improved in our region.
