Every year on 8 September, the world observes Cystic Fibrosis (CF) Day to raise awareness, share experiences, and call for better care for people living with this chronic genetic disease.

Pneumonia remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, especially in low- and middle-income countries like Bangladesh. The 2024 theme for World Pneumonia Day (November 12), “Championing the Fight to Stop Pneumonia,” highlights the urgent need to address this preventable and treatable disease.

September 8th is the Cystic Fibrosis (CF) Day, which is celebrated globally by patients, parents, and healthcare professionals to raise awareness and support.
