IARC joins hands with FIRS to celebrate #WorldLungDay 25th September 2022.

IARC joins hands with FIRS to celebrate #WorldLungDay 25th September 2022.

This World Lung Day and every day, we are proud to work together with the Forum of International Respiratory Societies - FIRS and other respiratory societies around the globe to raise awareness for lung health.

The #COVID pandemic has highlighted stark inequalities in lung health, so the theme this year is #LungHealthforAll

 

If you have plans for celebrating WLD, please share them with IARC so we can amplify the message of lung health for all.

This year we will look at what we can do to close those inequalities, focussing on:

  • The global burden of the major respiratory diseases and the impact of COVID, with a focus on lower and middle income countries
  • The importance of early detection and screening
  • Reducing inequalities in screening, diagnosis, and treatment of chronic lung conditions

In the lead-up to WLD we will share updates on:

  • #WorldLungDay messages in multiple languages (IARC Members can create messages in different languages, video clips in local languages, and other activities)
  • FIRS/WHO webinar launch
  • ELF/FIRS Healthy Lungs for Life events
  • Lung health fact sheet
  • Press release, IARC members in collaboration with their hospital or department can do a press release in local news papers. 
  • World Lung Day themes editorials

Email your ideas: to gs@iarc.in , the best ideas will be rewarded, stay tuned for more updates.
