Pneumococcal disease is a bacterial infection caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae1-2, sometimes known as pneumococcus. Most people carry pneumococcus in their nose and throat, where the bacteria do not cause any symptoms. However, sometimes the bacteria grow and spread to other parts of the body and that’s when you become sick.
Hence, it was need of the hour to bring to notice about this bacterial infection.
Therefore, for the 1st time in India, Pfizer has come up with an innovative solution to launch a website wherein they can spread awareness about the pneumococcal disease with the help of HCPs. The said website will contain all the information related to Pneumococcal disease and how dangerous the disease is. This information will be communicated to the patients by the HCPs through short informative videos.
