It’s World Lung Day!
On September 25, the world celebrates World Lung Day to bring attention to how important it is to take care of your lungs. The breathing system is very important to human life because it trades oxygen and carbon dioxide. Taking care of our lungs is very important for our general health.
But there are some diseases that can hurt the lungs. Some of these are lung cancer, COPD, asthma, and pneumonia. Luckily, the chance of getting these diseases can be greatly reduced by giving up smoking, eating well, and working out daily.
The theme for World Lung Day 2023 is “Prevention and Treatment for Everyone.” This is what the Association for Respiratory Technology and Physiology (ARTP) has said. “No one behind.” This topic carefully chosen to bring attention to lung health and the need to take real steps to make sure that everyone, from any background, has fair access to basic healthcare services.
History of World Lung Day
FIRS President Michiaki Mishima first came up with the idea for World Lung Day at the 2016 FIRS Kyoto Assembly. Moreover, the Forum of International Respiratory organizations (FIRS) is a strong group of respiratory groups that are working together to make lung health better around the world.
And then, the 100,000 members of FIRS committed to improving lung health around the world by working together with global groups such as the WHO.
