World Lung Day observed on 25 September 2023
Important Days
This World Lung Day, 25 September, the Forum of International Respiratory Societies (FIRS) joins GOLD to call on governments and healthcare providers around the world to provide equitable access to preventive services and treatments for respiratory conditions and life-saving pneumonia vaccines Have done. The theme of this year's World Lung Day is "Access to prevention and treatment for all". “Leaving no one behind” reflects the commitment to equality at the heart of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. This commitment is particularly important as 80% of non-communicable disease-related deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries. This large health burden can be prevented by implementing cost-effective interventions such as vaccination against pneumonia and improved access to preventive services and inhaled medications
