Child Health and Mortality Prevention Surveillance (CHAMPS)

Child Health and Mortality Prevention Surveillance (CHAMPS) is a global effort to identify the causes of death and illnesses in children under five. It collects detailed information through methods like public health data collection, laboratory analysis, and careful examination of deceased children. The goal is to understand why children are dying, especially in areas with high child mortality rates, and to use this knowledge to develop targeted interventions and improve child health. CHAMPS helps healthcare providers and policymakers make informed decisions to prevent future deaths and improve health outcomes for children worldwide.
