Every 20 seconds, one child’s soul is lost to Pneumonia. This amounts to 5,500 child deaths every day, and a staggering 2 million child deaths every year from a preventable and treatable disease. This figure succeeds AIDS, Malaria and Measles combined, according to the UNICEF and World Health Organization (WHO) report “Pneumonia, the Forgotten Killer of Children”, issued in 2006. Most people are unaware of Pneumonia’s overwhelming death toll, for this reason, Pneumonia has been overshadowed as a priority on the global health agenda.
