Content | Demographic and Health Survey, 2008 model children data provides the levels, trends, and differentials in mortality among children under the age of five. Specifically, also provides provides information on the levels and trends of neonatal, post-neonatal, infant, child, and under-five mortality. This chapter presents findings on several areas of importance to child survival. Information is presented on birth weight, child vaccinations, and treatment practices for children who have the three most common childhood diseases: acute respiratory infection (ARI), fever, and diarrhoea. Many early childhood deaths can be prevented by immunising children against preventable diseases and by ensuring that children receive prompt and appropriate treatment when they become ill. Results are presented on the prevalence of ARI and treatment of ARI with antibiotics, and the prevalence of fever and treatment of fever with anti-malarial drugs. The prevalence of treatment of diarrhoeal diseases with oral rehydration therapy (including increased fluids) is useful in assessing programmes that recommend such treatment. Information is also presented on the manner of disposing of children's faecal matter, because appropriate sanitary practices help prevent and reduce the severity of diarrhoeal disease.1 |
