Uganda - The devastating impact of childhood diseases
The Malaria Consortium project behind this film - InSCALE - is a Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation funded initiative that is looking at the critical need for community-based health volunteers in Uganda and Mozambique.
Malaria Consortium is working in Uganda to increase coverage of integrated community case management (iCCM). This will mean that more young children who are at risk from the killer diseases - diarrhoea, pneumonia and malaria - will receive care sooner through community health workers who are trained to diagnose and treat these childhood illnesses.
