Make medicines child size
A global need
Launched on 6 December 2007, 'make medicines child size' is a global campaign spearheaded by WHO to raise awareness and accelerate action to address the need for improved availability and access to safe child-specific medicines for all children under 15. To achieve this goal, more research is needed, more medicines need to be developed, and improved access measures are essential. At present, many medicines are not developed for children or available in suitable dosages or formats; and when they are they are not reaching the children who need them most. The 'make medicines child size' campaign is an effort to change that reality.
