Abstract
Healthy environment for children initiating an alliance for action (WHO) has reported that over 40% of the global burden of disease attributed to environmental risk factors fall on children below 5 years of age, who account for about 10% of the world’s population. That is why to look into the new area of concern, this cross sectional study was carried out to explore the influence of domestic environment over the illness of under five children.
