Study Notes
Child Health
- Under five mortality rate, also known as child mortality rate, measures deaths of children under five per 1,000 live births annually.
- Child mortality serves as a reliable indicator of overall child well-being and health conditions in a population.
- Causative agents of child mortality include viruses, bacteria, and parasites, indicating a wide range of health challenges.
Global Burden
- Malaria, transmitted by infected Anopheles mosquitoes, remains a significant global health issue affecting child health.
- The Anopheles mosquito acts as the vector for malaria, introducing the disease to humans during its bite.
- Effective treatment for infections varies; viral infections are not addressed with antibiotics, while bacteria are treatable with them.
Pneumonia in Children
- Pneumonia is a leading cause of mortality among children, highlighting the need for preventive strategies and effective treatment options.
