Pneumonia remains one of the world’s leading infectious killers. It still claims more lives of children under five than any other infectious disease and poses a serious threat to older people and those with chronic health conditions.

Protecting children and communities from pneumonia means strengthening health systems, so that preventive measures reach everyone, and every person with symptoms can get rapid diagnosis and the right treatment, including antibiotics and medical oxygen when needed.

• Scale up prevention
• Strengthen primary health care
• Promote equity and accountability
• Increase access to oxygen

November is COPD Awareness Month

This month is dedicated to raising awareness about chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, a leading cause of death and disability in the United States.

COPD is often referred to as a "smoker’s disease" however although smoking is one of the main risk factors for developing COPD, people who never smoke may also develop COPD.

Other risk factors may include:
-A history of childhood respiratory infections
-Smoke exposure from coal or wood burning stove
-Exposure to secondhand smoke
-People with a history of asthma
-People who have underdeveloped lungs
-Those who are age 40 and older as lung function declines as you age

While these causes and risk factors may increase your risk of developing COPD, people living in poverty and people living in rural areas are more likely to develop COPD.

If you have concerns about COPD-talk to your Provider today!
