World Pneumonia Day is celebrated on November 12
Established in 2009, this day seeks to raise global awareness and inspire actions to combat this critical health issue.
Pneumonia is the leading cause of death among children under 5 years old, claiming more lives than malaria, HIV, Zika, tuberculosis, and Ebola combined.
To mark this day, events such as exhibitions, meetings, seminars, and other awareness-raising activities take place around the globe, highlighting the urgency of preventive measures against this severe disease.
Pass it on!
