Children under five years and who become symptomatic before they reach 18 have been cited as one of the biggest threats not only in Kenya, but globally.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) lists malaria, pneumonia, diarrhoea and TB as accounting for 29 per cent of under five deaths.
Of those diseases, pneumonia stands out: It affects mostly children from poor backgrounds and has been dubbed 'the disease of inequality' as those from well-off families are spared.
