From the President’s Desk

What a fantastic September we had together! Thank you to all who participated in the GRS 2023, ICAN & ERS! We are now headed to the ISAF, an EADV to represent the patient voice!

Don’t miss opportunities to get involved in World UDAY & World Lung Day activities outlined in this month´s newsletter. We will also connect you with new resources on our new member portal and website.

 
 
In case you missed it, we have a new health policy report Called “a breath of fresh air” on severe asthma. It is an important document that highlights the continued unmet needs.

Finally, welcome to our two new members “Chile Asma” and “Right2Breathe”. We are excited to have you as part of the GAAPP family!

All my best,
Tonya

Thank you for the best GRS ever!

We want to express our heartfelt thank to all the member organizations that attended our best-ever Global Respiratory Summit in Milan. More than 50 patient advocates came in person, and more than 20 attended virtually. We are humbled and energized by your commitment and willingness to work globally and advocate for the quality of life of the more than 600 million people with respiratory, atopic, or allergic diseases worldwide. Shortly, we will be sharing the full recording of the streaming and the summary of the breakout sessions but meanwhile, we wanted to celebrate you with this very special video.
