The day aims to raise awareness about lung health and respiratory diseases.
Major lung-related diseases include asthma, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), lung cancer, tuberculosis (TB) and respiratory infections.
Forum of International Respiratory Societies (FIRS) created the idea of World Lung Day during the 2016 FIRS Kyoto Assembly.
Lung diseases are linked to major risk factors such as smoking, air pollution, second-hand smoke and harmful environmental exposure.
The theme for the year 2026 is “A Lifetime of Lung Health.”
