To our GAAPP Community:
Thank you to our members who utilized the communication grants to spread awareness for our awareness days for Eczema, Urticaria, and World Lung Day. We have shared our toolkit in preparation for World COPD Day on 16 November. Please help us share this message with your networks. Details are below.
The GAAPP Board is assembling to design our action plan based on the outcomes of our joint work at the GRS in Barcelona, as well as our first-ever event in LATAM, the SAREAL 2022 event for airways, allergic and atopic diseases. Stay tuned for more information before the end of the year.

The 2022 theme for World COPD Day is “ Your Lungs for Life“. World COPD Day is celebrated on the third Wednesday of November. This year it will be celebrated on 16 November. The theme aims to highlight the importance of lifelong lung health. You are born with only one set of lungs, from development to adulthood, therefore keeping lungs healthy is an integral part of future health and well-being. This campaign will focus on contributing factors to COPD from birth to adulthood and what we can do to promote lifelong lung health as well as protect vulnerable populations.
