Management of Pneumonia in High risk groups ( World Pneumonia Day)

Overview

World Pneumonia Day, observed annually on November 12th, is a global platform to raise awareness about pneumonia, its prevention, and managing at-risk populations. Pneumonia remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, particularly in high-risk groups. These groups include young children, pregnant women, older adults, individuals with compromised immune systems, and those with underlying chronic diseases. Addressing the specific needs of these vulnerable populations is crucial for effective management and reducing pneumonia-related deaths. Early detection, appropriate use of antibiotics and antivirals, vaccination, and supportive care are critical components of effective management. In honor of World Pneumonia Day, this webinar will address the latest guidelines, preventive strategies, and clinical management approaches tailored for these vulnerable populations.
