This document discusses information sharing to change policy for child pneumonia treatment in Haiti. It summarizes: 1) In 2000, 40,000 Haitian children under 5 were diagnosed with pneumonia and almost 3,000 died, showing pneumonia was a leading cause of death. 2) Beginning in the 1980s, the Haitian Health Foundation implemented a population-based primary health care program and community-selected village health workers to treat pneumonia. 3) Evaluation found the program reduced pneumonia-specific mortality in children under 5 from 6.2/1000/year to 3.1/1000/year, demonstrating community health workers could effectively diagnose and treat pneumonia with brief training.
