abstract: In developing countries children experience repeated episodes of diarrhea and acute respiratory infection (ARI), treatment of these child illnesses still remains a challenge. This study seeks to investigate factors associated with the treatment of ARI and diarrhoea among under-five children in Zambia based on the 2007 Zambia Demographic Health Survey (ZDHS) data set. This thesis reveals that the child’s and mother’s residence, father in the house, mother’s access to education, media health programs and health care resources are key determinants of child treatment. In fact, this thesis brings out an interesting dimension of the challenges of child treatment deep rooted location, socio-economic differences in the occurrence and treatment of diarrhea and ARI, access to child health care services and health media programs in the general population. Hence, there is need to translate existing Zambia’s child policy into action to ensure all children have access to equitable child health care services.
