Millenium Development Goal 4 in Indonesia: Achieved (not) for all children?

In the year 2000, 189 countries join their hands on agreement and make a universal framework for their development, the Millenium Development Goals (MDGs). MDGs have 8 goals and 18 specific targets which lead to one destination, a better future for all. MDGs have given the world an outline in which development should be in concordance with and a scale to measure the achievement. Although only three of the goals are directly related to health (MDG-4, 5 and 6) and only one directed to children (MDG-4), all of the other goals are closely related and interdependent with health and particularly with children (WHO, 2003; UNICEF, 2005; Dodd & Cassels, 2006).
