Lung Foundation NZ

22/07/2026

Our mahi now continues as Cardiac and Respiratory Foundation NZ.

There's a well-known connection between heart and lung health, but the two are often treated as separate issues. Today, we're closing that gap.

We're excited to announce that the Lung Foundation NZ, the Asthma and Respiratory Foundation NZ, Kia Manawanui Trust, and the Bronchiectasis Foundation have joined to become the Cardiac and Respiratory Foundation NZ.

So, what does this mean for you and your whānau?

We're bringing together a wealth of cardiac and respiratory expertise, so we can advocate more effectively, commission or conduct more research, and improve access, equity, and outcomes for New Zealanders living with heart and lung conditions.

Your heart and lungs work together — and now, so do we.
