Pneumonia is an infection of the lungs caused by several microbes. As pneumonia can cause death if left untreated, this day serves as a chance to emphasise the need for prevention, early detection, and effective treatment. It is desired to have no more pneumonia-related deaths in future.

This illness can manifest in a variety of ways, from fever to respiratory problems. It is possible to both prevent and treat pneumonia. The mortality toll from pneumonia is increasing despite the availability of therapy, and the COVID outbreak has made matters worse. Use of nose masks, keeping a safe distance from other people, maintaining good personal cleanliness, washing your hands regularly, and receiving the required vaccinations are all protective measures. To lessen microbial transmission through aerosol, people with coughs are recommended to cough into their elbow.

We increase public awareness of this respiratory infection and its preventive measures to lower the risk of respiratory infection and mortality. Additionally, we urge public and private organisations to disseminate these preventive measures at the community level, especially to those at high risk, and to offer resources for immunizations and treatment to those who have already been affected.

NORTH AMERICAN CYSTIC FIBROSIS CONFERENCE (NACFC) 2024

North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference (NACFC) 2024 Day 3 The past few days at The 38th Annual North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference (NACFC) have been inspiring. I've gained a deeper understanding of CF, CF care, cutting-edge research, and, most importantly, the lived experiences of people living with cystic fibrosis and their families. I am leaving this session with more inspiration to serve people living with CF with my work. Thank you to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation for this invaluable opportunity to learn, connect, and be more inspired. #nacfc #nacfc2024 #cf #cysticfibrosis

North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference (NACFC) 2024 Day 2 Yet another exciting day at NACFC! I started with an interactive session on some research procedures, which I found helpful for my recruiting work and the data's impact on the population. I learned a lot from the CFTR genetics session, which aligns with one of my research group's projects, and the plenary session on The Journey to Understand and Advance Research in CFRD. I wrapped up the day by networking with colleagues at Johns Hopkins Cystic Fibrosis Center #nacfc #nacfc2024 #cf #cysticfibrosis

North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference (NACFC) 2024 Day 1 Another exciting day at the NACFC! I started with the morning educative session, reconnecting with my incredible research team and reviewing their insightful posters for the conference. It was also a great learning session at the endocrinology abstract presentations. I engaged in the roundtable discussion, which aligned closely with my research focus, the session on the CF disease mechanism, and the plenary session, which was a great opportunity to stay updated on the advancements in CF therapies. I wrapped up the day with some general and group social gatherings because it’s all about building relationships and sharing ideas! #nacfc #nacfc2024 #cf #cysticfibrosis
