11 years ago, Lung Care Foundation took its first step with a simple but urgent belief: that respiratory health, clean air, and preventive care deserved far more attention than they were getting.

Today, on our Foundation Day, we reflect on how far that first step has taken us.

We celebrate the vision and leadership of Dr. Arvind Kumar, Dr. Rajiv Khurana, Dr. Belal Bin Asaf, and Mr. Abhishek Kumar, who turned conviction into commitment and commitment into lasting impact.
The early years were not easy. Building awareness, earning community trust, and sustaining momentum demanded persistence. But every campaign, every workshop, and every life touched reinforced why this work matters.

Over the years, the journey grew into something larger than any of us imagined, meaningful collaborations, community-led initiatives, and partnerships with national and international organizations. One milestone that stands apart: a Guinness World Record, a testament to what communities can achieve when united by a shared purpose.

But beyond every record and recognition, the real measure of these 11 years is the people who made it possible, our doctors, volunteers, team members, partners, donors, and the communities who placed their trust in this mission.

To each one of you: thank you. This journey belongs to you as much as it does to us.

The mission continues: to inform, to inspire, and to work towards healthier, more resilient communities for generations to come.

Grassroots conversations are where real change begins.

On 21st May, we conducted a sensitisation session with sarpanchs and panchayat members from villages across Jalandhar on the health impacts of air pollution. The discussion focused on research findings, local challenges, management strategies, and the importance of community-led action.

What made the session especially meaningful was the active participation and honest exchange of perspectives from the participants, many of whom emphasized the need to take such awareness initiatives directly to village communities as well.

Building healthier communities starts with informed conversations, local leadership, and collective action.

What if informed communities could reduce the burden on health systems?

At the Air Quality & Climate Change Conclave in Indore, Dr. Madhav Hasani spoke about the importance of community level healthcare, awareness and prevention in building healthier societies.

From ASHA workers and Anganwadi initiatives to wellness programs and public awareness drives, healthcare begins long before treatment. It starts when communities are informed, supported and empowered to prioritise their well being.

Because prevention is not just a healthcare strategy it is the foundation of stronger public health systems.

We rarely talk about the kidneys when discussing smoking and air pollution.
Maybe itโ€™s time we did.

New global research shows a rising burden of kidney cancer linked to to***co exposure, particularly across middle-income regions, including South Asia. At the same time, growing evidence suggests long-term exposure to PM2.5 air pollution may also increase risk.

For millions of people, these exposures do not happen separately.
And neither should our public health response.
Cleaner air. Stronger to***co control. Earlier awareness.
Because every organ deserves protection, not just the lungs.

New research from Tehran: children in more polluted areas were associated with lower concentration scores in school, even after accounting for income, parental education, and lifestyle factors. And kids with higher intake of antioxidant-rich foods showed better concentration.

This isn't a parenting story.
It's a public health story.
Cleaner air around schools isn't optional. It's a developmental necessity.

The health and economic costs of air pollution are estimated at nearly $6 trillion annually. This includes healthcare expenses, productivity losses, and premature deaths. Investing in clean air strengthens both health and economies.

A nebuliser turns liquid medicine into a mist. A child breathes it in through a mask, slowly, over several minutes.

It's not the same as a handheld inhaler. It's often used for younger children or during severe episodes. And it's one of the devices your school staff might encounter without ever having been told what it is.

This lesson covers what a nebuliser does, when it's used, and what teachers should know.

The metered dose inhaler is the most common inhaler device for asthma. But here's the thing: if the technique is wrong, the medicine doesn't reach the lungs.

For children, a spacer makes all the difference. It holds the medicine in a chamber, giving the child time to breathe it in properly.

Would the teachers in your school know how to help a child use one correctly during an asthma episode?

This World Asthma Day, the message is clear: asthma care depends not only on medicines, but on awareness, readiness, and timely action.

Children spend a significant part of their day in schools. When asthma symptoms begin in a classroom or playground, the response in those first few minutes matters.

That is why teacher awareness and school preparedness are essential. Recognizing triggers, identifying warning signs early, understanding inhaler use, and knowing emergency response steps can help prevent avoidable distress and complications.

Asthma support must extend beyond hospitals and homes. It must include the places where children learn, play, and grow.

The Asthma Readiness Training Program strengthens this gap through practical education for schools and teachers.
