Aga Khan Health Service Pakistan (AKHSP) launched a mass awareness campaign against pneumonia on Saturday.
The three-day exercise that coincides with “World Pneumonia Day,” celebrated every year on November 12 holds particular relevance for children below five years of age.
More than 1.5 million children die world-wide due to pneumonia with a vast majority belonging to developing world that also includes Pakistan.
These children can be saved, only if we provide them a pollution-free environment both indoor and outdoor, vaccine against pneumonia, affordable antibiotics, a healthy and nutritious diet and access to clean drinking water.
