Abstract

In 2020 the global under-five mortality rate was 37 deaths per 1000 live births, with pneumonia, diarrhoea, malaria, measles and meningitis, the leading causes of preventable or treatable deaths in this age group.1 In the absence of data on the incidence and prevalence of these diseases (morbidity data), mortality data reflect the social, economic, and environmental conditions in which children live, including their health care.
