EFA President - Mikaela Odemyr |

Since 2010 I am a Board Member of the Swedish Asthma and Allergy Foundation and since 2013 I am 2nd Vice-President. I have worked and still work for a non-profit organization Asthma and Allergy association Svalan in Örnsköldsvik. All my children have asthma and allergy so the last 19 years I have been dealing with those issues. I am a fighter but in a positive way. The last 10 years I have been giving speeches about living with severe asthma and allergy. I want people with asthma and allergy to have a good life with good care and the possibility to be a part of the community, not to be excluded. This email address is being protected from spambots.

EFA Treasurer - Hubert Nettel |

I am Board Member of Österreichische Lungenunion (Austria) where I build the relationship with the members of the Austrian Society of Pneumology and represent the organisation in external events. My 40 years’ experience working for the pharmaceutical industry have given me the opportunity to be in direct contact with physicians and patients and this relationship was a game changer to me. Now that I am retired, I wish to serve the patient community, to put my knowledge at the service of allergy and respiratory patients. This email address is being protected from spambots.

EFA Secretary of Board - Carlos Nunes |

I am Secretary to the Portuguese Asthma Association (APA) where we work to improve and develop patient education to establish “asthma educators” in health centers and hospitals. Descendent of an allergic and asthmatic family, I decided to become an allergolist and I have worked in public health and allergy projects for more than 20 years. I have published several articles about air quality and its impact on allergy and asthma and I am also the national coordinator of pollen monitoring on a network project. As EFA Board Member I work to promote the right and access to good quality care, in particular among people with lower income as well as those living in peripheral areas. I am very interested in promoting safe environments to patients suffering from allergy and respiratory diseases. European patients need a real time air pollution information and forecasting services, particularly about pollens. This email address is being protected from spambots.
