The specific goals for 2025 under the integrated Global Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of Pneumonia and Diarrhea (GAPPD) are all of the following EXCEPT:
Reduce the incidence of severe pneumonia by 90 % in children less than 5 years of age compared to 2010 levels
The question asks to identify the specific goal for 2025 under the integrated Global Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of Pneumonia and Diarrhea (GAPPD) that is NOT included among the options.
GAPPD 2025 Targets Analysis
The Global Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of Pneumonia and Diarrhea (GAPPD) outlines key targets to reduce child mortality and morbidity. Analyzing the provided options against the established goals for 2025:
- Target 1 (Mortality): Reduce mortality from pneumonia in children less than 5 years of age to fewer than 3 per 1000 live births. This is a stated goal within the GAPPD. (Using LaTeX for clarity: $< 3$ per 1000 live births).
- Target 2 (Mortality): Reduce mortality from diarrhea in children less than 5 years of age to fewer than 1 per 1000 live births. This is also a specific GAPPD target. (Using LaTeX: $< 1$ per 1000 live births).
- Target 4 (Incidence): Reduce incidence of severe diarrhea by 75% in children less than 5 years of age compared to 2010 levels. This is an accepted GAPPD objective. (Using LaTeX: $75\%$).
Identifying the EXCEPT Goal
The option that does NOT align with the specific 2025 goals of the GAPPD is:
- Target 3 (Incidence): Reduce the incidence of severe pneumonia by 90% in children less than 5 years of age compared to 2010 levels. While reducing pneumonia incidence is a priority, the specific target of a 90% reduction in *severe* pneumonia incidence by 2025 is the exception among the choices provided. (Using LaTeX: $90\%$).
Therefore, the goal that is EXCLUDED from the specific 2025 targets is the reduction of severe pneumonia incidence by 90%.
