Elizabeth Vargas reports from India, where nearly 2 million die each year before they reach the age of five. Innovative programs are keeping infants alive: a portable baby warmer created by four American grad students and a bold new entrepreneurial approach creating specialized maternity hospitals in slums.
... I find out that we may not be on that segment after all.
But in exciting news, looks like we may be on "Good Morning America" instead - with over four million viewers! It will be hosted by Elizabeth Vargas, the same correspondent who came to LifeSpring a couple weeks ago. Apparently, they wanted to make the segment longer than the time alloted for 20/20, which is nice to hear.
You should definitely still watch 20/20 tonight (10pm Eastern and Pacific time), where ABC kicks off a one year focus on global health (partly funded by Gates Foundation). The episode will focus on maternal and child health.
And then stay tuned for "Good Morning America" -- either next Thursday or Friday.
Concurrent with the on-air episodes, ABC is also promoting "Be the Change: Save a Life" -- to inspire people not only to learn about global health challenges, but more importantly, to act. www.saveone.net. There are beautiful videos and the website allows the user to search by topic and geography. Really cool, and just in time for the holidays.
