World Pneumonia Day is celebrated all across the globe on November 12 annually. This day was first commemorated in 2009 to bring issues to light with regard to this condition. As per WHO, pneumonia is the world’s driving irresistible enemy of children younger than 5.

It represents 15% of all deaths of kids under 5 years of age. Pneumonia is respiratory contamination that influences the lungs of the individual. In this condition, the air sacs in one or both the lungs get aggravated. These might be loaded up with liquids or discharge. This lung disease can go from gentle to extreme. Kids younger than 2 years and those over the age of 65 years are at a higher danger of this condition.

World Pneumonia Day History

World Pneumonia Day was set up in 2009 by the Global Coalition against Child Pneumonia. Worldwide Coalition against Child Pneumonia is an organization of global, government, non-government, and local area-based associations, exploration and scholarly establishments, and people.

At the point when the first World Pneumonia Day was created, pneumonia was killing approx 1.2 million kids every year. WHO and UNICEF in 2013 delivered the Integrated Global Action Plan for the Prevention and Control of Pneumonia and Diarrhea. It set an objective of under three kid pneumonia deaths for every 1000 live births in each country by 2025.

The International Vaccine Access Center (IVAC) delivered the pneumonia and Diarrhea Progress Report in 2013 and the quickly developing Pneumonia Innovations Network facilitated the Pneumonia Innovations Summit in 2015.

The Every Breath Counts Coalition was additionally established in 2017 which was the primary public-private association to help state-run administrations to accomplish the GAPPD (Global Action Plan for Pneumonia and Diarrhea) focus to lessen kid pneumonia deaths in nine nations.
