Pneumonia is one of the most solvable problems in global health and I find it unnacceptable that still every 30 seconds a child dies from this infection. Children can be protected from pneumonia, based on 3 pillars. It can be prevented with simple interventions, diagnosed and treated with low-cost generic medication and care. It is my goal to enable health workers to correctly diagnose to make treatment with low cost meds possible.
