Childhood Mortality
Neonates and Azithromycin, an Innovation in the Treatment of Children in Burkina Faso
Although under-5 mortality rates are declining globally, neonatal mortality remains persistently high in many regions of sub-Saharan Africa.

Childhood Mortality
Community Health Azithromycin Trial in Burkina Faso
An estimated 7.7 million pre-school aged children die each year, the majority from infectious diseases. Mass azithromycin distributions for trachoma may have the unintended benefit of reducing childhood mortality.

Mortality, Resistance Bacterial
Azithromycin for Child Survival in Niger: Mortality and Resistance Trial
The MORDOR trial found that biannual distribution of azithromycin to children 1-59 months old reduced child mortality. The World Health Organization (WHO) released conditional guidelines for this intervention, which include…
