The Killer No One Suspects

Nicholas Kristof writes about "The Killer No One Suspects in the New York Times. I was surprised when I read an article by Dr. Bill Frist several weeks ago that the number one killer of infants is not malaria, or even AIDS. Instead it is pneumonia. A disease that can easily be treated. Mr. Kristof reports "Pneumonia gets very little attention from donors or the public health community, yet it kills more than two million children a year, according to Unicef and the World Health Organization."
