The 5 things you need to know about the new draft decision: ?? ?????????????? ????????????????: 1?? ???????????????????? ?????????????? ????????????????????: Addressing both communicable (tuberculosis, pneumonia, influenza, COVID-19) and noncommunicable lung diseases (COPD, asthma, pulmonary fibrosis, lung cancer) through a unified approach 2?? ???????????????????? ??????????: Targeting major risk factors including tobacco use (45% of tobacco-related deaths are from lung diseases), air pollution, workplace exposures, and radon 3?? ???????????????????? ???????????? ??????????????????????: Incorporating lung health into primary healthcare services with clear referral pathways to specialized care 4?? ?????????????????????????? ??????????????????????????: Engaging health, environment, labor, education, and finance sectors through whole-of-government and whole-of-society approaches 5?? ????????????????-?????????? ??????????????????????????: Updating clinical guidelines, using innovative technologies, and ensuring access to affordable medications and diagnostics. This resolution builds on existing WHO frameworks while addressing gaps in current prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation strategies for lung diseases. In 2021, lung diseases claimed over 18 million lives globally. https://lnkd.in/dzTEMJXn Follow the Respiratory Health Initiative for similar stories Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies

COPD affects between 300 and 400 million people globally, making it the third leading cause of death worldwide. It results in a range of negative impacts on individuals’ quality of life and health outcomes, significant social and financial costs, as well as pressure on country health care systems. We call for a new data-driven approach to COPD assisted by the COPD Index. Explore the COPD Index today: ???????????? ????????????-???????? ???????????????? Access comprehensive analysis across 34 countries, examining policy effectiveness, environmental impacts, and healthcare delivery systems to identify what works best in COPD management. ????????????????-?????????? ???????????? ???????????? Leverage detailed scoring metrics to develop targeted COPD interventions where they'll have maximum impact, backed by? clear comparative data ???????????????????? ???????????? ???????????????????????? Understand key correlations, such as how higher respiratory specialist density correlates with reduced COPD hospitalizations (R = -0.72),? to optimize resource allocation. ???????????????? ???????????????? With COPD's projected $4 trillion cost burden through 2050, benchmark your country's economic impact against others and identify cost- effective interventions to help solve the COPD crisis. ???????????????? ?????? ???????? ??????????: https://lnkd.in/dm4CJ6mn Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies

Globally, over 26% of deaths are attributable to poor lung health. (1) The Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies has made improving lung health a priority in our work through through the Respiratory Health Initiative We want to not only highlight the need for a greater focus on lung health but also emphasise that robust solutions are well within reach: ??Improved tobacco control laws and tobacco bans ??Measures to reduce climate change-related risks ??Faster and more targeted access to diagnosis and patient care pathways ??Facilitating collaboration between primary and secondary care professionals ??Supporting patient groups and empowering patients ??Activating decision- and policymakers to put lung health on the policy agenda ??Advocating for the development and implementation of national lung health plans ??Ensuring adherence to care guidelines All of these measures are possible and have the potential to save lives! What can you do to improve lung health today? ??

Improving air quality could SIGNIFICANTLY improve respiratory health. Over 80% of India's population and over 60% of Saudi Arabia's population are exposed to dangerous levels of particulate matter. Exposure to biomass smoke is notably high in India (45%), China (35%), and Brasil (20%). Indoor air quality remains a significant issue, with one-fifth to one-quarter of some populations reporting poor conditions. There is a strong correlation (R = -0.84) between particulate matter exposure and COPD severity. Addressing air quality is more than? an environmental issue; it is a pressing public health challenge that demands immediate action. Governments, organisations, and individuals all have a role to play in advocating for cleaner energy, improved housing, and stricter policies to reduce outdoor and indoor air pollution. ??

Each day, we take 23,000 breaths, while millions struggle for breath. Respiratory diseases remain the third leading cause of death globally,? but this doesn't have to be our common future. Like generations before us who tackled polio and malaria, we have an opportunity to transform the state of respiratory health globally. COPD is largely preventable and, with early diagnosis and proper care, patients are able to manage their symptoms and live fuller lives. The solution starts with ???????????? ????????, leading to targeted national action plans that address both root causes and access to better care. Let's be the generation that turns the tide on respiratory disease, giving a voice back to those who suffer in silence. Let’s be the generation that champions change in the respiratory area,? just like past generations did for Polio and Malaria sufferers. It is entirely possible. ??

According to a seminal article just published in ?????????????? ???????? in The Lancet Group, global NCD targets are being MASSIVELY MISSED. After a decade of global efforts, working with an agreed ????% target, the improvement in preventing early deaths from major NCDs is just ??.??%! ?? Yes, you read that right - ONE POINT FIVE PERCENT. These diseases are responsible for 80% of all years lived with disability before the age of 70! A whopping 86% of all premature deaths from these diseases are happening in low and middle-income countries. This century presents an unparalleled opportunity to prioritise NCDs at the heart of all new policy developments globally. We call for a new global agreement to put ???????????? ?????????? in all new legislation. This will result in enormous financial, social and human benefit going forward.
