24 Apr

At the 2nd Global Forum on Childhood Pneumonia conference 26-27 April 2023 in Spain, ASID has pledged to contribute to the prevention and treatment of childhood pneumonia worldwide.

ASID is advocating for:

The need for free universal health care for all children
Equitable access and uptake of preventative health services including affordable vaccines (including pneumococcal conjugate vaccine, other routine vaccines, and RSV vaccine when it becomes available) and nutrition services, and WASH; and quality health care including access to affordable essential medicines and oxygen
Research into better prevention, treatment and care.

ASID will ensure educational and mentoring opportunities for the next generation of researchers on childhood pneumonia in the global context are provided for ASID members and trainees.
