The map shows the number of child deaths due to pneumonia per 100,000 children per year. It shows that children are most likely to die from pneumonia across Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. The deaths in just [5 countries](https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/number-of-deaths-from-pneumonia-in-children-under-5) — India, Nigeria, Pakistan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Ethiopia – accounted for more than half of all deaths from childhood pneumonia in 2019. For this reason Kevin Watkins and Devi Sridhar called pneumonia _“the ultimate disease of poverty”_ in a 2018 comment in the journal _The Lancet_.{ref}Watkins, K., & Sridhar, D. (2018). [Pneumonia: a global cause without champions.](https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(18)31666-0/fulltext)_ The Lancet_, _392_(10149), 718-719.{/ref} There is a very strong correlation between a country’s income and the child mortality rate from pneumonia as the scatter plot shows. Pneumonia is not a disease that easily spreads across borders, its transmission is generally restricted to local communities and it can be controlled if basic health measures are available.
