Nov. 12 is World Pneumonia Day.
World Pneumonia Day brings people from all over the world together uniting to
demand that something be done to fight the pneumonia illness. World Pneumonia Day helps
to highlight the severity of pneumonia and encourages more organizations to look at ways
of combating the disease. This day was first hosted in 2009 when over 100 organizations
joined to form the Global Coalition against Child Pneumonia.
Pneumonia is one of the most solvable problems in global health and yet a child dies
from the infection every 20 seconds. Together we can ensure the fight against pneumonia is won.
