  • Pneumonia is preventable. Governments have committed to achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, one of which (SDG 3.2) promises to end preventable deaths of newborns and children under 5 years of age by 2030. We will fail to deliver on SDGs if we forget pneumonia.
  • The WHO and UNICEF have laid out a strategy in the Integrated Global Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of Pneumonia and Diarrhoea (GAPPD). 
  • Controlling childhood pneumonia requires an integrated package of interventions to protect, prevent, and treat the disease. Fortunately, many of the interventions targeted at pneumonia also help control other childhood diseases, like diarrhea, and should be part of a comprehensive approach to child survival.

However, the disease still claims 400,000 lives every year, primarily in Africa. Malaria control and elimination poses several challenges that need to be addressed in a comprehensive manner.
