On 16 August 2024, the European Lung Foundation (ELF) brought the Healthy Lungs for Life campaign to Stockholm, Sweden, as part of the Kultur Festivalen. ELF delivered free spirometry testing and raised awareness on the importance of clean air among the citizens of Stockholm.
The Healthy Lungs for Life campaign is run by the European Lung Foundation (ELF) and the European Respiratory Society (ERS). The campaign is aimed at everyone whether you have a lung condition or not. It focusses on five key themes to raise awareness of the best ways we can keep our lungs healthy and reduce the amount lung disease experienced by people worldwide.
The European Lung Foundation collaborated with C40 and the Swedish Asthma and Allergy association to deliver spirometry testing, as part of a clean air event during the Kultur Festivalen. People visited the Stockholm’s city tent, at Norrmalmstorg, to learn more about Stockholm’s air quality and get their lungs tested for free!
With thanks to NDD for providing the spirometry equipment.
