Pneumonia is the leading cause of child deaths in Nigeria. Interventions to combat pneumonia are known and globally available, but not yet deployed effectively in Nigeria. While the under-five pneumonia deaths dropped globally by 51% during the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) years (2000 to 2015), the rate declined by a mere 8% in Nigeria. In this commentary, we focus on three factors that may have stalled Nigeria's progress on pneumonia control. First, a chronically weak health system failed to deliver the needed services at scale. Second, strong coordination of a multipronged and well-funded push against pneumonia was absent. Third, sound and timely data on pneumonia intervention coverage were lacking, thus blunting the accountability mechanisms that could have driven quick, targeted action. In response, the Federal Ministry of Health recently developed a National Pneumonia Control Strategy with the support of the "Every Breath Counts Coalition" (EBCC). This strategy, a first of its kind, articulates a common vision for reducing pneumonia-led morbidity and mortality and provides a unified approach to respond comprehensively to pneumonia within and outside the health sector. Strong political will and sustainable financing are now needed to effectively implement this strategy and accelerate progress on pneumonia control. This will contribute hugely to achieving the government's health goals, the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3.2 and the Global Action Plan on Pneumonia and Diarrhoea (GAPPD) targets.

尼日利亚的肺炎:前进的道路。

肺炎是尼日利亚儿童死亡的主要原因。对抗肺炎的干预措施是已知的,并且在全球范围内可用,但尚未在尼日利亚有效部署。在千年发展目标(MDG)期间(2000年至2015年),全球五岁以下的肺炎死亡人数下降了51%,而在尼日利亚,这一比率仅下降了8%。在这篇评论中,我们集中于三个因素,这些因素可能使尼日利亚在控制肺炎方面的进展停滞不前。首先,长期脆弱的卫生系统未能大规模提供所需的服务。第二,缺乏强有力的协调,以多方力量和充足的资金来防治肺炎。第三,缺乏关于肺炎干预覆盖面的可靠和及时的数据,因此削弱了可能促使采取快速,有针对性的行动的问责机制。作为回应,联邦卫生部最近在“每个呼吸计数联盟”(EBCC)的支持下制定了一项国家肺炎控制策略。该策略尚属首次,阐明了减少由肺炎引起的发病率和死亡率的共同愿景,并提供了统一的方法来全面应对卫生部门内外的肺炎。现在需要强有力的政治意愿和可持续的资金,才能有效地实施这一战略并加快控制肺炎的进程。这将为实现政府的健康目标,可持续发展目标(SDG)3.2和全球肺炎和腹泻行动计划(GAPPD)目标做出巨大贡献。该策略尚属首次,阐明了减少由肺炎引起的发病率和死亡率的共同愿景,并提供了统一的方法来全面应对卫生部门内外的肺炎。现在需要强有力的政治意愿和可持续的资金,才能有效地实施这一战略并加快控制肺炎的进程。这将为实现政府的健康目标,可持续发展目标(SDG)3.2和全球肺炎和腹泻行动计划(GAPPD)目标做出巨大贡献。该策略尚属首次,阐明了减少由肺炎引起的发病率和死亡率的共同愿景,并提供了统一的方法来全面应对卫生部门内外的肺炎。现在需要强有力的政治意愿和可持续的资金,才能有效地实施这一战略并加快控制肺炎的进程。这将为实现政府的健康目标,可持续发展目标(SDG)3.2和全球肺炎和腹泻行动计划(GAPPD)目标做出巨大贡献。现在需要强有力的政治意愿和可持续的资金,才能有效地实施这一战略并加快控制肺炎的进程。这将为实现政府的健康目标,可持续发展目标(SDG)3.2和全球肺炎和腹泻行动计划(GAPPD)目标做出巨大贡献。现在需要强有力的政治意愿和可持续的资金,才能有效地实施这一战略并加快控制肺炎的进程。这将为实现政府的健康目标,可持续发展目标(SDG)3.2和全球肺炎和腹泻行动计划(GAPPD)目标做出巨大贡献。
