Over 8 years, CHAMPS has worked with communities and built local capacity to determine definitive causes of stillbirths and child deaths across our network of sites in Africa and South Asia, two regions that account for 82% of under-five child mortality worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center w-75 margin-auto fade-in-down-stagger\"> Our detailed data and analysis on causes of death show that at least 70% of stillbirths and child deaths are preventable with existing interventions. To address persistent health inequities and improve maternal health and child survival, CHAMPS is sharing knowledge and using its network to provide policymakers, partners, health workers, communities, and parents with information and recommendations to save young lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center w-75 margin-auto fade-in-down-stagger\">We thank the many stakeholders and partners who make CHAMPS\u2019 work possible and commit to accelerating our shared goals to end preventable child deaths everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html lang=\"en\">\n<head>\n

They were unable to determine what was wrong; sadly, she died at home. CHAMPS testing found that the child had HIV and, because of that, was severely malnourished and had bacterial and viral lung infections. A test for HIV early in the mother\u2019s pregnancy was negative, and she had not been tested since. After hearing the investigation results, the mother was tested for HIV and sought treatment. She is now taking medication that will prevent transmission of HIV in future pregnancies.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group impact-box fade-in-down-stagger\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"impact-icon\"> \n      <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/champshealth.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/17-1.png\" alt=\"Icon\"\/>\n  <\/div>\n\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\n\n.impact-icon {\n\n\tbackground-image: url(https:\/\/champshealth.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/img\/icon-outline.png);\n\tbackground-size: cover;\n\tbackground-repeat: none;\n\twidth: 75px;\n\theight: 75px;\n\tfloat: left;\n\tmargin-right: 2%;\n\tborder:  2px dotted;\n\tborder-radius: 50%;\n\tposition: absolute;\n\ttop: -37px;\n\tbackground-color: white;\n}\n\n.icon-number {\n\t    background-color: #655dc6;\n    border-radius: 50%;\n    height: 100%;\n    text-align: center;\n    display: flex\n;\n    justify-content: center;\n    align-items: center;\n    color: white;\n    font-family: 'Lato';\n    font-weight: 900;\n    font-size: 30px;\n}\n\n.impact-box h4 {\n\nmargin-top: 30px;\n}\n.impact-box {\n\n\tpadding: 20px;\n\n}\n.impact-box.has-icon {\n\n\tpadding: 20px;\n\tpadding-top: 35px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br>Improving Enrollment<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The Kenya team found that use of a mobile van improved consent rates and timely enrollment of child deaths, including deaths that occur at home or on the way to a health facility.

adults?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>As people living in high-transmission areas gain immunity over time to the parasites that cause malaria, nearly all deaths from malaria in these areas are thought to occur in children. Recent data have challenged this assumption. CHAMPS is now investigating adult deaths at sites in Sierra Leone and Kenya, areas with high malaria transmission rates, to determine whether malaria contributed to a significant proportion of those deaths.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n <style> \n\n .impact-controls {\n\n \tposition: absolute;\n \ttop: 2%;\n \tright: 2%;\n \tdisplay: flex;\n \tz-index: 40;\n \tpadding-right: 25px;\n }\n\n.impact-controls i {\n\n\tfont-size: 20px;\n\tcolor: white;\n\tmargin-left: 15px;\n}\n\n\n #impact-gallery .row {\n\n justify-content: center;\n }\n.impact-card-image {\n\n\theight: 250px;\n\tbackground-size: cover;\n\tbackground-position: center;\n\tbackground-repeat: no-repeat;\n}\n\n\n.impact-inner .impact-header {\n\n\n\theight: 300px!important;\n\tmargin-bottom: 25px;\n}\n.impact-link\n\n{\n\n\tdisplay: flex;\n\tflex-wrap: nowrap;\n\tpadding: 10px;\n\ttext-decoration: none;\n\tcolor: white;\n\tfont-family: Lato;\n\tfont-weight: 600;\n\tflex: 1;\n\talign-items: center;\n\tjustify-content: space-between;\n}\n\n.impact-1 {\n\n\tbackground: #655DC6;\n}\n\n.impact-2 {\n\n\tbackground: #00A7E1;\n}\n\n.impact-3 {\n\n\tbackground: #4c9c2e\n}\n\n.impact-4 {\n\n\tbackground: #f4436c;
