Speak Up for COPD is a coalition of advocates, clinicians and industry partners united in a common goal to bring urgent attention to the impact of COPD and establish it as a public health priority.
Through our work, we are calling for wider recognition of the societal and economic impact of COPD and to advance policies that effectively address its growing burden across the world.
We are speaking up to amplify the voices of people living with COPD, who frequently face stigma associated with smoking, as well as other socioeconomic factors, that may minimise the strength of their own voices.
Greater recognition of the impact of COPD is needed amongst healthcare providers to achieve better standards of care, which includes a holistic approach with improved access to effective treatments.
