Global Forum Renews Political Will on Childhood Pneumonia (2)

8 February, 2020

Thanks Neil

Your comments are right about childhood pneumonia response. There is another observation that I want to share with you. In the LMIC, the majority of parents prefers as first intervention a home medication or automedication than hospital care. That's because of 1) recurrence of respiratory infections 2) economics status and source of funding of care and 3) the distance from household to health facilities.

Then, we have to worry about the correct used of antibiotics and the future risk of respiratory antibiotics resistance development.

Kind regards
