In the EU, 1 in 8 deaths are caused by lung diseases, and numbers are rising. The COVID-19 pandemic has pushed the EU and Member States towards more coordinated action on health, primarily focused on crisis prevention and preparedness, while the EU’s ambition of a European Health Union has brought to the forefront the many EU instruments to protect public health and advance health outcomes.
The MEP Lung Health Group will host the presentation of the new publication, “#KeepBreathing: A vision for EU action on lung health 2024-2029”. Panellists and participants will discuss avenues for a sustained, focused and achievable EU action to improve lung health and respiratory disease care in Europe. Download the agenda here.
