Ending Child Deaths from Pneumonia and Diarrhea
2016
This report from the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) addresses the persisting issue of preventable child deaths due to pneumonia and diarrhea. Highlighting an unnecessary loss of 1.4 million children per year due to these illnesses, the report goes on to detail recent progress and the cost-effective solutions available. Relatively inexpensive to treat, and with a disproportionate effect on younger populations, these diseases could be managed and prevented with greater focus and funding. This report provides strategies and recommendations to mitigate the largest inequities between the children being reached and those left behind, and to address these conditions on a global scale.
