Raising the Bar in Respiratory Care

EU Symposium

In 2021, the European Commission launched the ‘Healthier Together – EU non-communicable diseases (NCD) initiative’ to support EU countries in identifying and implementing effective policies and actions to reduce the burden of major non-communicable diseases, and to improve citizens’ health and well-being. Respiratory Diseases were one of five focus areas, including: a) cardiovascular diseases, b) diabetes, c) chronic respiratory diseases, d) mental health and neurological disorders, and e) health determinants.

Each focus area of this initiative aims to address health inequities, support improved knowledge and data, diagnosis and treatment management, and enhance patients' quality of life. These EU-wide ambitions are at the heart of EUFOREA’s mission of ‘Raising the bar in Respiratory Care.

On 17 April 2024, EUFOREA took a holistic approach in its programme development- including the representation of real patients in discussions with top medical experts at the European Parliament. This symposium aimed to join forces with global leaders in chronic respiratory diseases and addressed the challenges and shortcomings in respiratory healthcare across Europe and beyond. It was hosted by Member of the European Parliament Dorien Rookmaker (European Conservatives and Reformists Group - ECR) and co-hosted by non-attached Member of the European Parliament, Mislav Kolakušić.
