Pneumonia is one of the leading killers of children under 5 in Bangladesh. The deadly disease took the lives of over 16,000 children under the age of 5 in 2016- that is close to two deaths every hour. In order to achieve Universal Health Coverage (UHC) and reach the ‘3 per 1000 live births target of death rates under 5 by 2025’, as envisaged under the Global Action Plan for Pneumonia & Diarrhoea (GAPPD), we cannot have children be left behind.
