IRC launches official Manifesto and calls on policymakers to create clear and measurable national strategies

26 June, 2023

The International Respiratory Coalition (IRC) has launched its official Manifesto during the second IRC Summit, taking place in Lisbon, Portugal on 26-27 June. The document sets out the aims and objectives of the Coalition and, using the latest data, explains a clear need to tackle respiratory disease.

The IRC is now calling on policymakers in WHO European region countries to create clear and measurable national strategies – to transform post-pandemic respiratory care and reduce mortality from respiratory diseases by a third globally by 2030, in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
