Both EFA and ERS supported the third Lithuanian National Asthma Congress, that was organised on 8 October 2005 in Vilnius by the Lithuanian Pulmonology Society in collaboration with the Lithuanian Council of Asthma Clubs among others. EFA co-organised a capacity building session for patients and Svein-Erik Myrseth spoke about the patient perspective asthma to health professionals. A report of the event is available to members on the EFA website. EFA would like to thank our friends and colleagues in Lithuania for their hearty hospitality and congratulate for a successful Congress!
