The 3rd meeting of the GA²P², the Global Allergy and Asthma Patient Platform, a project initiated by EFA, will be held on the 11th of June 2011 at the Intercontinental (Ceylan Istanbul) Hotel in Istanbul, Turkey (16.00-18.00).
The meeting will tie in with the first day of the Congress of the European Academy of Allergology and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) being held there.
During the meeting, elections to the GA²P² board will be held. Signatories of the GA²P² Buenos Aires Declaration are therefore invited to nominate candidates for election before the 10th of May 2011, as well as points to be included in the agenda.
The GA²P² Buenos Aires Declaration has been signed by asthma and allergy patient groups from around the world since December 2009. Its five main points centre on the need for global networking of asthma and allergy patient organisations; the right for asthma and allergy patients to comprehensive healthcare; their right to have access to education including information, training and self-management; their right to live in healthy, unpolluted air and smoke-free environments; and their responsibility to lead and be empowered to lead healthy lifestyles and manage their disease.
