The World Health Assembly is preparing to adopt a landmark resolution urging countries to prioritise an integrated approach to lung health, addressing both infectious and non-communicable respiratory diseases such as COVID-19, tuberculosis, asthma, COPD and lung cancer. The resolution calls for unified national policies that address all lung diseases, stronger primary healthcare systems, and concrete action on environmental and social risk factors. In response, the European Lung Health Group has sent an Open Letter urging the EU to support and co-sponsor the resolution.
