World Lung Day 2026
A Lifetime of Lung Health
On this World Lung Day, Global Allergy & Airways Patient Platform (GAAPP) joins the global lung health community to champion a lifelong approach to respiratory well-being. This year, our community’s theme is “A Lifetime of Lung Health“. We are focusing on the message that our lung health isn’t static, but instead is a trajectory shaped by the choices we make and the conditions we face from before birth through older adulthood.

We are calling on our members, healthcare professionals, and policymakers to recognize that investing early protects lungs for a lifetime.

A a community, we can ensure that lung health is prioritized as a cornerstone of health equity worldwide.

We are all woven together!
In alignment with the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) theme for World Asthma Day, the Global Allergy & Airways Patient Platform has launched its 2026 campaign, “We Are All Woven Together.” At the heart of this initiative is a global asthma testimonial map, designed to amplify patient voices across countries and cultures.
This interactive platform highlights both the shared realities and stark disparities in asthma care worldwide—bringing visibility to unmet needs, particularly in underserved regions. Despite geographic and socioeconomic differences, the message is consistent: all people living with asthma need timely, personalized, and optimal care.
Because asthma does not exist in isolation, effective management is not only about symptom control—it is about enabling quality of life. It affects the ability to work, to care for others, to pursue passions, and to live according to one’s values. This campaign underscores that improving asthma care benefits not only patients, but also their families, caregivers, and communities.
