World Pneumonia Day, observed on 12th November, aims to raise awareness about the deadly impact of pneumonia, a disease that claims the lives of millions each year, particularly children under five and the elderly. Pneumonia is caused by bacterial, viral, or fungal infections and can lead to severe respiratory issues. Despite being preventable and treatable in many cases, pneumonia remains one of the leading causes of death globally.

The day serves as a reminder to promote vaccination, early detection, and access to healthcare, especially in low-income regions where pneumonia is most prevalent. Organisations and healthcare providers use this day to educate the public about pneumonia prevention and to advocate for global health initiatives aimed at reducing pneumonia-related deaths.
