Las enfermedades respiratorias crónicas en el mundo...se siguen incrementando!!!
📢 WHO/ERS report on chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs): new toolkit available now!
The WHO Regional Office for Europe and European Respiratory Society have launched the first-ever regional report on the burden and impact of CRDs in Europe.
This is a major milestone in raising awareness of long-term conditions like asthma and COPD. Key findings include:
🫁 Over 90% of people in Europe breathe air with pollution levels far above WHO safety guidelines.
🫁 CRDs are a major cause of disability and death in Europe.
🫁 Basic lung tests like spirometry are often unavailable, causing delays and misdiagnosis.
To help our Patient Organisation network share important findings from the report, ELF has developed a dedicated toolkit
The toolkit is designed to support you in raising awareness, taking action and promoting better respiratory health across Europe.
