That “pleasant” fragrance may not be harmless.
Sprays and incense can quietly irritate your lungs and trigger cough, wheeze, or allergies.

Choose fresh air over scented air.

It’s World COPD Day. A reminder to pause and pay attention to your breathing.

Your lungs speak, but not always with words. Sometimes they speak through:
- A cough that never goes away
- Breathlessness during simple tasks
- Constant fatigue
- Frequent chest infections

On this day, let’s remember that COPD often develops silently, and many ignore the early signs thinking it's just age, stress, or weather change. Your lungs are always working for you - make sure you’re working for them too.

16.2%. That's the percentage of child deaths under five caused by pneumonia. This is a tragedy that we, as a medical community and global citizens, can prevent.

Today, on World Pneumonia Day, let's commit to reducing this alarming statistic. Protect your family's lung health through vaccination.
