The meeting started by defining pneumonia, members gave different definitions saying it is the cough that attacks children, it is when a child gets cough with whooping Annet said, after the health educator defined pneumonia as an infection that inflames the lungs and the air sacs which is caused by a bacteria. Community members together with the staff discussed the signs of pneumonia; cough, loss of appetite, sweating among others and the staff encouraged members to go to hospital as soon as they see any sign, make sure your child is fully immunized. Furthermore diarrhea was discussed it’s risk factors, signs and symptoms, how to prevent and treat it.
