Pneumonia is the leading infectious killer of children under five, 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.
