The Global Action Plan for Prevention and Control of Pneumonia (GAPP) was released at the Global Pneumonia Summit, which is under way in New York.

Announcing the action plan's objective to reduce pneumonia mortality in children under the age of five by 65 per cent by 2015 UNICEF Executive Director Ann M. Veneman said: "Effective interventions to reduce deaths caused by pneumonia must be used more widely and made more readily available for children at risk."
