No family left behind: the example of community-based pneumonia care in Haiti.
The Haitian Health Foundation (HHF) in Jeremie, Haiti conducted an intervention combating childhood bacterial pneumonia. HHF treated 60,000 episodes of respiratory illness in 15 years. The same care model is used for vaccinations, exclusive breastfeeding, diarrheal disease, congenital syphilis, and newborn care.
