RESUMEN
PIP: This article presents the Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI) which attempts to check the cause of infant mortality and morbidity. Malnutrition, infections, diarrheal disease, and particularly the effects of unhygienic feeding practices have raised a global infant mortality. Infants and children are likely to suffer from permanent growth and developmental impairment just because they were not breast-fed. These facts prompted the UN International Children's Emergency Fund and WHO to jointly begin a global effort to reinstate breast-feeding to its rightful place, since it has been determined that breast-feeding could prevent deaths of at least 1 million children per year. BFHI services helped to turn the health care providers and mothers to the real needs of the baby. Relentless efforts are needed from all spheres to create a world where the physical, mental, social, and emotional needs of the baby are well met.^ieng

Typhoid perforation, a serious complication of typhoid fever, is still common in Third World countries and has a mortality rate between 1 and 39.3% according to various reports. There are different approaches to the treatment of typhoid perforation. Early surgical intervention with simple closure of the perforation in two layers has good results and negligible mortality. It is easy to perform and can be carried out, even by a trainee surgeon.
