In 2023, pneumonia overtook ischaemic heart disease as the number one cause of death in Malaysia, ranking highest among older adults above the age of 60. We find out why pneumonia became so deadly last year, and what public health measures are important to ensure this trend does not continue. Prof Dr Ahmad Izuanuddin Ismail, President of the Malaysian Thoracic Society, and Dr Mohd Arif Mohd Zim, Consultant Respiratory Physician, join us for this discussion.
