We know what works to fight pneumonia in children. Improving access to prompt diagnosis and treatment of pneumonia and scaling up vaccines that protect children against particularly deadly strains has occurred in many countries. So why has progress against pneumonia fallen behind?
Biography
Nancy Fullman, MPH, is Scientific Advisor at the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME). In this role, she supports the generation, review, and publication of research results across multiple IHME projects. Nancy serves as a central point for implementing the highest possible scientific excellence throughout IHME, as well as advancing IHME’s overall scientific endeavors.
Previously, Nancy spent three years as one of IHME’s first Policy Translation Specialists, leading efforts to translate IHME’s research into actionable, policy-relevant materials and to engage stakeholders around the uses of global health evidence in decision-making. She led policy translation activities for the Access, Bottlenecks, Costs, and Equity (ABCE) project, a multicountry research initiative that assesses drivers of health system performance, and the Malaria Control Policy Assessment (MCPA) project in Zambia and Uganda. As a Policy Translation Specialist, Nancy also produced a pneumonia-focused report and supported work related to the Disease Control Priorities Network (DCPN) study, impact evaluations such as the Gavi Full Country Evaluations (FCE), and subnational benchmarking analyses in Nigeria.
Nancy was a Post-Bachelor Fellow at IHME from 2008 to 2011, during which time she conducted research on malaria interventions and helped launch the MCPA project in Zambia. She received her Master of Public Health in Health Metrics and Evaluation from the University of Washington in 2011. She then spent a year working for the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) Global Health Group’s Malaria Elimination Initiative, where she led communications and advocacy efforts on behalf of malaria-eliminating countries, before returning to IHME in 2013.
Originally from a small town in New York State, Nancy received her bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Middlebury College.

July 2015 saw two big milestones for Nigeria’s quest to eliminate polio. First, the country hit the one-year mark of recording zero polio cases, a significant achievement in global health. Second, Nigeria finished introducing the inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) into routine immunization systems in five more states, accelerating the new vaccine’s implementation.
