World Pneumonia Day: 12 November
World Pneumonia Day
World Pneumonia Day is observed every year on November 12 to raise awareness about pneumonia — a preventable and treatable disease that still remains a major cause of death among children and older adults worldwide. The day highlights the importance of vaccination, timely diagnosis, and access to quality healthcare to combat pneumonia effectively. Governments, health organizations, and communities come together on this day to promote preventive measures and ensure that no one dies from a disease that can be cured with proper care.
