Vote for Pneumonia Diagnostics
Oxygen therapy can make the difference between life and death. But many medical facilities in low-resource areas aren't equipped to provide oxygen therapy. In an effort to increase access through policy advocacy, PATH submitted a proposal for inclusion of oxygen as a medical gas on the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines (EML). Between February 24-March 31, 2017, an expert committee will convene in Geneva to consider this application, among others, to update the WHO EML.
You can support PATH's HO2PE campaign on social media by sharing campaign graphics, photos, and content

WHO Connects Environment and Children's Health
A pair of new reports by the World Health Organization (WHO) emphasizes the need to reduce children's exposure to environmental hazards that lead to poor health conditions and preventable diseases like pneumonia. Advocates can draw key messages that connect environment and children's health to pneumonia and diarrhea.
Vaccine Safety Information
The American Journal of Preventive Medicine and Vaccine have partnered to create a new education resource center on immunization. The website houses both patient and clinician materials, as well as open access to key articles on safety of commonly used vaccines, including PCV and rotavirus vaccine. Advocates can incorporate the evidence in their communication materials.
