Advancing Knowledge to Save Children’s Lives

Child Health and Mortality Prevention Surveillance (CHAMPS) is a global surveillance network that generates and shares accurate information on causes of stillbirths and child deaths in high-mortality settings in Africa and South Asia. Working closely with communities and their leaders, CHAMPS teams work quickly to identify deaths and, with a family’s consent, use innovative diagnostic methods to investigate the causes. Findings help families improve the health of their children. CHAMPS provides data to local, national, and global health leaders to improve policies and programs and drive investments to save lives.
