๐ Today, on World Pneumonia Day, we raise awareness about pneumonia, a leading cause of death among children under five and vulnerable adults in Ghana. Every year, pneumonia claims thousands of lives, but it is a preventable and treatable disease.
In Ghana, factors like malnutrition, overcrowded living conditions, and limited access to healthcare contribute to the high incidence of pneumonia. Letโs join hands to combat this urgent public health issue!
