- Authors
Hajjeh, Rana; Whitney, Cynthia G.
- Abstract
The authors comment on the recognition of the fourth annual World Pneumonia Day on November 12, 2012. They note that the special day, which was first launched in 2009, aims to raise awareness about pneumonia's toll on the world's children and to promote interventions to protect against, treat and prevent the disease. They discuss several interventions made to reduce deaths due to pneumonia among children. They also urge the global community to consider the massive problems of pneumonia.
