The Italian Bronchiectasis Association APS is a patient association established in May 2019 with the intent to help people with non-Cystic Fibrosis-related (non-CF) bronchiectasis and their families, and to raise awareness of this little-known chronic respiratory disease, which cannot be detected without a CT scan and is often confused with other diseases. The association employs its own multidisciplinary Scientific Committee, which curates webinars to deepen the knowledge and management of bronchiectasis, offers guidance to specialized facilities for the treatment of bronchiectasis, creates mutual support among patients from all over Italy through the Community cares for psychophysical well-being with the pathway called “Neighborhoods and Wellbeing.” It dialogues with institutions to recognize greater recognition in terms of exemptions and disability. Our association has more than a hundred associations mostly women.
