By - Dr Rakesh Godara, Additional Director - Pulmonology, CK BIRLA HOSPITALS, Jaipur

“This World Pneumonia Day, the theme ‘Child Survival’ reminds us that every child deserves the right to breathe freely and grow healthy. Pneumonia, though preventable and treatable, continues to claim young lives worldwide. By ensuring proper nutrition, clean air, timely vaccination, and early medical care, we can protect children from this silent threat. Awareness and action are our strongest tools in saving lives and securing a healthier future. Let’s work together to give every child a fighting chance — because strong lungs mean a strong life.”
