National Projects

Supporting national-level advocacy for lung health

Active national-level IRC coalitions

The IRC supports 21 national coalitions – a growing network of clinicians, patients and organisations united by a shared commitment to improving respiratory health in their countries.

Each coalition is at a different stage, but all are working towards the same goal: a funded national respiratory health strategy that addresses prevention, treatment and care.

How IRC supports national coalitions

Data

Lung Facts provides epidemiological and economic data for major respiratory conditions, giving coalitions the evidence base to make a compelling case to policymakers.

Funding

Grants are available to help new coalitions get established, and to support national coalitions working on strategic advocacy initiatives.

Resources and peer learning

Coalitions can access IRC best practice guidance and materials from other coalitions, supported by regular events for sharing progress, exchanging ideas and learning from one another.
