World pneumonia day
is observed on 12th November every year to generate awareness about
pneumonia.
Pneumonia is an inflammatory condition of the lung affecting
primarily the small air sacs known as alveoli.
Let us raise awareness about pneumonia, the world’s leading
infection killer of children under the age of 5.
#Pneumonia is a preventable & treatable disease that sickens 155
million children under 5 & kills 1.6 million yearly. This makes #Pneumonia the number 1 killer of children under 5, claiming more lives
than #AIDS, Malaria & Measles combined.
Strategies to prevent #pneumonia include good sanitation, adequate indoor ventilation,
breastfeeding, vaccinations, and good hygiene.
Raise
awareness about pneumonia, promote prevention and treatment and generate action
to fight against pneumonia
#Wpd #everybreathecounts

treat people against this disease.
