At FIRS, our mission is to improve lung health around the world — and we know that raising awareness plays a vital role in helping us achieving this goal. Throughout the year, global respiratory health awareness days bring together healthcare professionals, patient advocates, policymakers, and communities to spotlight important issues and drive action.
To help you plan your activities, campaigns, and events, we invite you to save the following dates in your calendar.
Each one is a valuable opportunity to come together, spark conversations, and support evidence-based action across respiratory health.
