You must be absolutely right about "human right" in my country.

Ulvi, thank you for your note and link on this.  It got me looking for
a few minutes at the Wikipedia on infant mortality rates, a
traditional measurement for modern social progress, and reflecting on
what "4.8 per 1000" really means.  It means a lot!  And to me, Cuba's
accomplishment means even more than just the many, many lives saved.
Cuba's accomplishment also points to new ways of understanding,
creating and practicing medical care as a fundamental human right for
all.

In my country, this rate was 67 per 1000 in 1990 ! In 2007 , it
dropped to
27 per 1000.

In 1960, it was 37.3 per 1000 in Cuba !

Today, 4.8 per 1000
