Upcoming Webinar: Increasing Access to Inhaled Medicines for COPD and Asthma

The Forum of International Respiratory Societies (FIRS), in collaboration with The Union, NCD Alliance, and the NCD Policy Lab, is hosting a webinar to spotlight critical gaps in access to inhaled medicines for people living with COPD and asthma, particularly in low- and middle-income countries.

  • The session will bring together international experts, patient advocates, and global health partners to share evidence, lived experiences, and practical solutions. Topics will include:
    Strengthening clinical guidelines and essential medicines lists
    Supporting local manufacturing and product registration
    Improving affordability through pooled procurement and generics
    Promoting provider training and community awareness

This event is part of FIRS' global campaign to improve equitable access to quality inhaled therapies and will feature a closing address from the UN Special Envoy for Chronic Respiratory Diseases.
