Pneumonia in Bhutanese children: what we know, and what we need to know.

Background Pneumonia is the single largest cause of death in under-five children worldwide. We conducted a systematic review to identify the knowledge gaps around childhood pneumonia in Bhutan. Methods We searched PubMed, ScienceDirect and Google scholar from conception to 3rd December 2018, World H...
