Comprehensive Approach to Lung Health

Child lung health was one focal area of the World Bank-funded Comprehensive Approach to Lung Health project, which was conducted by The Union in Benin, China and Sudan from 2005-2008.

The Kigoma Maternal and Child Health Project

In Kigoma, Tanzania, The Union was asked to help address the issue of neonatal and young infant mortality from pneumonia and sepsis, as part of a maternal and child survival project. The goal was to create a pilot project within the government health system in one region that would demonstrate how effective case management procedures improve outcomes –– and at a cost within reach of the proposed national health budget.
