November 12 – World Pneumonia Day
World Pneumonia Day is celebrated annually on November 12th, bringing the world together to raise awareness of the dangers of pneumonia and influence real change. In 2021, the information campaign will be held under the slogan “Stop pneumonia: every breath counts.”
According to official statistics, pneumonia is the largest infectious killer of adults and children: a person dies from the disease every 13 seconds (1). The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has only emphasized the importance of pneumonia as a dangerous disease requiring effective prevention and timely treatment.
