World Pneumonia Day is observed on November 12th each year to raise awareness about the impact of pneumonia on global health. Pneumonia is a serious lung infection that can affect people of all ages, but it is particularly dangerous for young children and the elderly. By spreading awareness and promoting prevention strategies, we can work towards reducing the burden of pneumonia worldwide.

According to the World Health Organization, pneumonia is responsible for over 2 million deaths each year, making it one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide. Vaccines, antibiotics, and good hygiene practices are key tools in preventing and treating pneumonia. On World Pneumonia Day, organizations and individuals come together to advocate for improved access to vaccines, healthcare services, and education on pneumonia prevention.

The World Pneumonia Day webpage features a collection of informative images and resources to help raise awareness about the impact of pneumonia. These images visually convey the importance of vaccination, proper hygiene, and timely treatment for preventing pneumonia. Join us in spreading the word about World Pneumonia Day and taking action to protect ourselves and our loved ones from this deadly respiratory infection.
