The American Thoracic Society joins the Forum for International Respiratory Societies in the call to recognize Sept. 25 as World Lung Day, an annual event dedicated to respiratory disease that helps focus attention and resources on an often overlooked, but very real threat to global health. The ATS urges you to join the cause and add your name to the petition.
See the video below for a message about World Lung Day from ATS President Marc Moss, MD:
The American Thoracic Society improves global health by advancing research, patient care, and public health in pulmonary disease, critical illness, and sleep disorders. Founded in 1905 to combat TB, the ATS has grown to tackle asthma, COPD, lung cancer, sepsis, acute respiratory distress, and sleep apnea, among other diseases.
