Pneumonia is the leading infectious killer of children under-5, causing an estimated 700,000 deaths in 2019. Continued lack of action and investment in pneumonia will prevent many countries from achieving the SDG 3 agenda goals by 2030, often pneumonia is the “missing piece” and major barrier to reducing child deaths. The Every Breath Counts Research Group conducted a study to establish a research priority agenda for childhood pneumonia, with the aim of advocating for increased engagement from donors and key stakeholders working in high-burden countries.
