Pneumonia - Forgotten no more.

Abstract

Commentary Pneumonia - Forgotten No More Chapman, P.L. Pneumonia is the leading cause of death in children worldwide and kills an estimated 1.2 million children under the age of five every year; more than AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis combined. Relatively few resources have been committed to addressing the problem of childhood pneumonia, particularly in resource poor  settings. Yet effective interventions are available but reach too few children.
