    The Global Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of Pneumonia (GAPP) outlines a six-year plan for a worldwide scale-up of methods to control the disease. The GAPP estimates that with proper investment, by 2015 child pneumonia mortality will decrease child pneumonia mortality substantially.http://www.reuters.com/article/pressRelease/idUS10101+02-Nov-2009+BW20091102
