Childhood diarrhea and pneumonia remains the leading cause of mortality among children under five years of age in Pakistan. The prevalence of diarrhea in Pakistan has increased from 15% in 1990 to 23% in 2013 while there has been no progress in the prevalence of pneumonia and it has been almost constant over the last two decades. The coverage of preventive and therapeutic interventions for childhood diarrhea and pneumonia also remains low. This study aims to improve the adherence to recommended preventive and curative practices for childhood diarrhea and pneumonia.
