Societal cost of day-care approach (DCA): A low-cost approach in urban and rural settings for management of childhood severe pneumonia in Bangladesh
Findings suggest that this novel DCA management approach is a low-cost management option, and particularly beneficial for rural residences and therefore has the potential to reduce the overall cost burden for childhood severe pneumonia management. These findings have implications for policy-making decisions in resource-poor settings for childhood pneumonia management.
