World Pneumonia Day 2024:
World Pneumonia Day, observed each year on November 12, is dedicated to raising awareness about pneumonia, a potentially life-threatening yet preventable and treatable respiratory illness. The day brings global attention to pneumonia’s impact, particularly among children under five and the elderly, who are most vulnerable. The theme for World Pneumonia Day 2024, “Every Breath Counts: Stop Pneumonia in Its Tracks,” underlines the importance of respiratory health and the urgency of addressing pneumonia as a global health priority.
