World Pneumonia Day: Friday, November 12, 2010
November 12, 2010
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
US/New York: By the time you’ve read the first two sentences of this media release, Pneumonia has claimed another child on this planet. In the few minutes it takes to drink your morning coffee, Pneumonia has killed another 50 kids. The time to act is now.
Every twenty seconds – three times each minute of each day – a small child suffers a horrible, painful death, a death made even more tragic because it is entirely preventable with available vaccines and basic antibiotics.
Incredible though it may seem, Pneumonia kills more children aged five and under than any other condition, including Malaria. This makes Pneumonia the deadliest killer of kids. Ironically, it is also one of the most solvable health problems of today. For as little as 30¢, you can save a life by providing much needed medicines and other treatments.
This Friday, November 12, Living Safely™ urges people to raise their awareness of the needless deaths associated with this dreaded, yet preventable illness. Visit the Web site of the World Pneumonia Day. Learn about Pneumonia and how you can help.
