The politicians standing up for lung health

In the next five minutes, someone will die from a lung condition.

Lung conditions are killing tens of thousands of people every year. Millions of people are suffering alone, waiting to find out why they can’t breathe but unable to get a life-saving diagnosis. And even when people do find out what’s wrong, they often can’t access the treatment or care they need, ending up in hospital. To make matters worse, air pollution is having a deadly impact on all our lung health.

This is Life + Breath. As a politician, you can make a difference.

By signing our online pledge wall, you’re promising to advocate for people living with lung conditions and raise awareness of the issues that matter most to them. That includes better access to diagnosis and care, more research to find new treatments, and policies that help tackle air pollution.
