"Of the 5.6 million deaths/yr that occur in children <5yrs, 2.5 million occur in the 1st month of life and 70% of the others are caused by acute respiratory infections, diarrhoea, measles, and malaria, +/- malnutrition.

In many low-resource settings, there is no paediatrician and sick children are managed by non-specialists"--
