African lung health initiative grants

    African lung health initiative grants

    Pan African Thoracic Society (PATS) Lung Health Initiative (PALI) is an annual award designed to support World Lung Day advocacy programs that promote lung health in Africa.

    PATS members can apply for PALI funding to conduct programs that promote lung health in their locality. Programs can range from educating healthcare workers and the general population, free lung function testing, stakeholder engagement to fund raising for lung health. This year, programs that aim to improve awareness about non communicable respiratory disease (asthma and COPD), or climate change and lung health will be prioritized. Awards to be announced late August.
