Eliminating smoke and soot in homes is critical to reduce childhood deaths from pneumonia―the top killer of children under five years old. Replacing biomass with a clean-burning fuel, such as liquid petroleum gas, eliminates harmful smoke. PATH is using market-based solutions to make clean fuels available to low-income consumers.

Published from 2007 to 2015, Vaccines for the Future provided quarterly updates on our efforts to accelerate the development of innovative, safe, effective, and affordable vaccines against pneumonia (pneumococcal disease) and diarrheal disease (rotavirus, Shigella, enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli), as well as new vaccines for the global population against influenza, meningitis, polio, and respiratory syncytial virus. It included updates on progress, partnerships, and specific activities related to these projects. This newsletter is no longer being published and has been replaced by two newsletters: Moving the Needle provides updates on our vaccine development work, and Immunization Matters focuses on our vaccine uptake and access work.

This fact sheet provides an overview of PATH's ongoing work in Cambodia to integrate diarrhea and pneumonia control. At the national level, PATH collaborated with the Cambodia Ministry of Health to strengthen policy so that effective interventions and appropriate and reliable supplies are made available throughout the public- and private-health sectors as well as in the community to reduce the burden of diarrheal disease and pneumonia among children in Cambodia. PATH also worked on a district-level demonstration project to put policy into practice and inform expansion throughout the country. Through this integrated approach to community health, Cambodia is addressing the two most dangerous threats to its children and is already making a significant and lasting impact.
