The introduction of the new vaccines, supported by the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunisation (GAVI Alliance), is a part of our multi-pronged approach to fighting this deadly disease through prevention and treatment. As well as immunisation, we are promoting healthy practices that will help to make children less vulnerable to pneumonia, and for those who do fall ill, we are promoting effective case management.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Malawi has already introduced measles, diphtheria, and whooping cough vaccines into its routine immunisation schedule; these vaccines also protect children from pneumonia as it is a common complication of these diseases. GAVI helped Malawi to introduce the <em>Heamophilus influenza b<\/em> (Hib) vaccine in 2001. Hib used to be a major cause of pneumonia in Malawi, but since the introduction of that vaccine, the number of Hib pneumonia cases has fallen radically. Between them, the Hib vaccines and the pneumococcal vaccines we introduced on 12 November this year could reduce over 50% of deaths due to pneumonia.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Around the world, these vaccines are expected to save some seven million children\u2019s lives by 2030.\u00a0Thanks to\u00a0the experienced and well organised expanded programme on immunisation in Malawi, it is expected that 1.2 million children in this country will be vaccinated with pneumococcal vaccines by the end of 2012.<\/p>\n<p>Malawi\u2019s other ways of fighting pneumonia are also seeing success. At\u00a0a hospital level, working extensively in 45 hospitals, pneumonia deaths have been reduced from 18 deaths\u00a0per every 100 people to 5 deaths per every 100 people. This has been achieved by using simple and inexpensive antibiotics, investing in improving health workers\u2019 skills through courses, and providing oxygen concentrators. At\u00a0a community level, Malawi has introduced village clinics that are operated by health surveillance assistants who are able to administer antibiotics to treat pneumonia. Breast feeding, improved nutrition, and the reduction of indoor air pollution have been strengthened in the country. All of these simple interventions help to make our children less vulnerable to pneumonia.<\/p>\n<p>Through these and other improvements, Malawi is proud to be on track to meet Millennium Development Goal 4, to reduce child mortality by two thirds by 2015. And we would like to recognise the contribution of donors and partners, such as the GAVI Alliance, who have helped to make this possible.<\/p>\n<p>Our slogan is \u201c<em>We are fed up with childhood deaths<\/em>,\u201d and our drive is \u201c<em>With passion, dedication and commitment we can bring fantastic changes our patients need<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>No child should die of a disease we can prevent or treat and I look forward to the day when the passion, dedication, and commitment of all partners working to improve child health will mean pneumonia will no longer claim children\u2019s lives in Malawi and around the world.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Norman Lufesi<\/strong> is the manager of the acute respiratory infection (ARI) control programme and the emergency triage assessment and treatment programme in Malawi.
