The 8th annual World Pneumonia Day will be held Nov. 12. World Pneumonia Day was established in 2009 to:
- Raise awareness about pneumonia, the world's leading killer of children under the age of five
- Promote interventions to protect against, prevent, and treat pneumonia
- Generate action to combat pneumonia
Pneumonia is one of the most solvable problems in global health, yet a child dies from pneumonia every 20 seconds. Visit the World Pneumonia Day website to see how you can help in the effort to end child pneumonia worldwide. An advocacy toolkit for 2016 is available on StopPneumonia.org.
