Every Breath Counts Coalition is calling on the World Health Assembly to review, update and extend the GAPPD to 2030 and ensure its alignment with the SDGs.

The Every Breath Counts Coalition is extremely concerned that the COVID-19 virus will cross into the countries that are already experiencing heavy burdens of pneumonia deaths, especially among children, and is urging support for national preparedness to control an outbreak of viral pneumonia in these countries.

For three days in late January 2020, 400 individuals from 60 countries gathered in Barcelona to work out better ways to fight the leading infectious threat to child survival - pneumonia. Leith Greenslade, coordinator of the Every Breath Counts Coalition, a 40-member public-private partnership, reflects on what was achieved and what it means for children.
