World Pneumonia Day 2025
HAMS Hospital joins the global community in observing World Pneumonia Day 2025 today, November 12th. This annual event, initiated in 2009 and endorsed by the World Health Organization (WHO), is dedicated to raising awareness about pneumonia, reducing child mortality rates, and emphasizing the importance of robust health systems for prevention and treatment.
The observance is held under the global theme: “Save Children – Invest in Stronger Health Systems, Prevention, and Treatment.”
Pneumonia: A Leading Threat to Child Health
Pneumonia remains one of the leading causes of death among children globally, particularly those under five years old. Despite the disease being both preventable and treatable, it poses a significant burden on vulnerable populations worldwide.
Health experts stress that while many preventive efforts have reduced the disease’s impact, more dedicated work and investment are required to fully mitigate the problems caused by this respiratory illness. Raising public awareness about its symptoms, risks, and the need for timely intervention is crucial.
