Children make up approximately 50% of the total population in developing countries and suffer from the highest mortality of any age group. Although mortality for children under 5 has reduced drastically in the last decade, there is still a lot to be done. Many deaths are still occurring from treatable and preventable illnesses such as pneumonia, diarrhea, HIV, malaria, malnutrition, measles, and neonatal complications.
Sentum partners with NGO’s to improve access to primary healthcare to all children, provides comprehensive medical care to HIV-infected and HIV-exposed children, and works to improve newborn services from the household up to the referral level.
