Today, Thursday 12 November, 2015, is World Pneumonia Day.
This year, World Pneumonia Day carries the theme of ‘Push the Pace. Fight Pneumonia.’, and aims to highlight prevention and treatment measures for the condition.

As part of this year’s Healthy Lungs for Life ‘Take the active option’ campaign, we have been promoting the importance of physical activity for lung health.
Regular exercise is associated with better health, and moderate physical activity is good for the immune system, which helps to fight infections.
