It is estimated that over 10 million children under five years of age die each year from preventable or treatable diseases such as malaria, diarrhoea or measles. Many of these deaths could be prevented through early, appropriate and low-cost treatment of sick children in the home or community. This joint report by UNICEF and the World Health Organization examines approaches for the community management of children, specifically antimicrobial treatment, through the use of community health workers or their equivalent.
