EFA Info

Welcome to EFAnet

Welcome to the website of the European Federation of Allergy and Airways Diseases Patients Associations (EFA).
Today there are over 100 million people with asthma, allergy and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in Europe.

EFA is a European network of patient organizations that was founded in 1991, prompted by the belief that an international organization formed by European patients associations that share the same aims would be a more effective way to serve the needs and safeguard the rights of patients and their carers.

We hope you enjoy surfing this site and we look forward to hearing from you!

EFA President

EFA highlights the urgent need for change & a comprehensive European strategy to fight COPD

On World COPD Day 18 November, EFA launched a book on Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease in Europe for the first time from patient perspective comparing the care of people with COPD in 12 countries. Mrs Catherine Stihler, MEP said “I highly commend the work of EFA. It is vital that people across Europe and the world are made aware of COPD. At least 44 million people across Europe are suffering from the disease, and the figure is set to rise each year”. More and copy of the Book.
