Nine organisations – ISGlobal, Save the Children, UNICEF, Every Breath Counts, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, “la Caixa” Foundation, USAID, Unitaid and Gavi – joined forces to address one of the greatest and gravest health challenges facing children around THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC Against the backdrop of the emerging coronavirus, 350 representatives from more than 55 countries met in Barcelona in January at the first Global Forum on Childhood Pneumonia to discuss strategies to control pneumonia, the leading infectious killer of children. Since the Forum, COVID-19 has spread rapidly – with almost every country around the world now experiencing confirmed cases. THE ISSUES - STOP PNEUMONIA / EVERY BREATH COUNTS Pneumonia is a common respiratory illness contracted by kids everywhere, from the United States to South East Asia and is the leading infectious cause of death among children under five, killing approximately 2,400 children a day. Pneumonia accounted for approximately 16 per cent of the 5.6 million under-five deaths, killing around 880,000 children in 2016. COVID-19 PREPAREDNESS CRITICAL QUESTIONS Answer provided by John Borrazzo, Senior Health Specialist at the Global Financing Facility (GFF), which is hosted by the World Bank.. As the COVID-19 pandemic escalates in low- and middle-income countries, there is a growing risk of widespread disruptions in access to maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health and nutrition

services.

PREVENT - STOP PNEUMONIA / EVERY BREATH COUNTS VACCINES. Vaccines are a crucial preventative measure for children who may not be able to access care easily. Preventing pneumonia also helps families avoid treatment costs and other financial burdens due to THE FIRST GLOBAL FORUM ON CHILDHOOD PNEUMONIA Who joined the fight? The Global Forum brought together health ministers and government representatives from 23 countries; global health leaders; leading scientists and academics, international agencies, civil society actors, donors, business and youth activists for the first-ever Global Forum on Childhood Pneumonia, which took place in Barcelona at the end of January. UNIVERSAL HEALTH COVERAGE (UHC): THROUGH THE LENS OF Much of the morbidity and mortality due to pneumonia represent shortcomings at multiple levels of fragmented health systems that forces families to spend out-of-pocket and without assuring quality care.

CHAMPIONING THE FIGHT TO STOP PNEUMONIA Pneumonia is the world’s biggest infectious killer of adults and children – claiming one child every 50 seconds. Yet pneumonia remains a neglected disease – a “global cause without

champions”.

COVID-19 could add 1.9 million to the death toll.  But the massive effort to control the pandemic is also an opportunity – to reduce _all_ deaths from respiratory illnesses, especially for women and

children.

Unless we take action now, it’s estimated that almost 6 million children will die from pneumonia over the next decade. THE EVERY BREATH COUNTS COALITION The Every Breath Counts Coalition is the world’s first public-private partnership supporting low- and middle-income countries to reduce pneumonia deaths, including from COVID-19. The global coalition of UN agencies, businesses, donors and NGOs have committed to supporting governments in countries with some of the highest burden of pneumonia. The 48 members provide support to close the critical gaps in pneumonia prevention, diagnosis and treatment, which could save hundreds of thousands of lives each year. Read more about the coalition

WORLD PNEUMONIA DAY

World Pneumonia Day, marked every year on 12 November, was established by the Stop Pneumonia Initiative

in 2009 to

raise awareness about the toll of pneumonia – a leading killer of children around the world – and to advocate for global action to protect against, help prevent and effectively treat this deadly

illness.
