PETALING JAYA: Pneumonia surpassed heart disease to become Malaysia’s leading cause of death in 2023, claiming 18,181 lives and prompting urgent calls for enhanced respiratory health measures and vaccination efforts.

Pneumonia became the principal cause of death for the first time in two decades, during which time heart disease was the No. 1 killer except in 2021, when Covid-19 was the leading cause of death.If left untreated, it can lead to a serious lung infection that can be fatal. It can affect anyone at any age, although those above 65 and children with compromised immune systems are more susceptible.

Those showing symptoms such as persistent coughing for more than three weeks or blood being coughed up, having pale, blue or blotchy skin, lips or tongue, and difficulty in breathing, including suddenly feeling confused or delirious, should seek urgent medical attention.
