Country Director of Johns Hopkins International Vaccine Access Center, Dr. Chizoba Wonodi, has declared that 177,000 children die of pneumonia every year in Nigeria, while 20 children die every hour in Nigeria.
Wonodi said that despite the fact that pneumonia is a critical contributor to the cycle of poverty in Nigeria, as it places high financial burden on communities that lack healthcare facilities, there is a solution.
