European Lung Health Group

European Lung Health Group

In 2020, even before the COVID-19 pandemic reached Europe, EFA contacted the European level respiratory patient groups and the European Respiratory Society with the idea to get together and define common advocacy topics and goals in Europe to reduce the fragmentation of knowledge around respiratory diseases at the European level.

The Group is composed by:

- Alpha-1 Plus Belgium (in representation of Alpha-1 patients at European level)
- Cystic Fibrosis Europe (CF-E)
- European Federation of Allergies and Airways Diseases Patients’ Associations (EFA)
- European Lung Foundation (ELF)
- European Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis Federation (EU-IPFF)
- European Respiratory Society (ERS)
 - Lung Cancer Europe (LuCE)
- Pulmonary Hypertension Association Europe (PHA-E)
- Tuberculosis Coalition Europe (TBEC)
