Sources for Sick Child Care Materials
Understanding if and where sick children are taken for care is critical to improve case management interventions. The following briefs and slide decks present a secondary analysis of Demographic and Health Survey data from 24 of the 25 USAID maternal and child survival priority countries to examine where treatment or advice is sought for sick children who experienced at least one of three treatable illnesses: fever, acute respiratory infection, or diarrhea. These illnesses represent some of the leading causes of death in children under five years old.

Private Sector Counts tool
Donors and program implementers now have the data they need to design country programs using a total market approach at their fingertips. Private Sector Counts is an interactive web tool that allows users to explore if and where caregivers obtain sick child care. The tool uses data from the most recent Demographic and Health Survey data in 37 low- and middle-income countries to illuminate the important contribution of the public and private sectors to sick child care.
