Tackling pneumonia and diarrhoea: The deadliest diseases for the world's poorest children

摘要

On June 8, 2012, UNICEF released a report, Pneumonia and diarrhoea: tackling the deadliest diseases for the world's poorest children, that presents a compelling argument for greater action for all children, but especially the most vulnerable, on these leading causes of child deaths. Pneumonia and diarrhoea together account for nearly a third (29%) of all deaths among children younger than 5 years, a loss of more than 2 million lives each year.
