    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.
