The Irish Lung Health Alliance is a group of Irish charities that have
joined forces to promote healthy lungs with four simple messages:-
1. Lung disease can affect anyone regardless of age, health status and walk of life
2. Symptoms such as persistent cough, wheeze and shortness of breath are not normal and should be checked with your GP
3. Early diagnosis and intervention are key
4. Keep lungs healthy - don't smoke and stay active
The lunghealth.ie website provides information on common lung conditions and contact co-ordinates for a number of organisations that provide patient support and further information. If you have symptoms such as a persistent cough, wheeze or shortness of breath should have them checked with your GP - an early diagnosis can make all difference. One in five deaths in Ireland is caused by lung disease. It is the most common reason to visit a GP and the third most common reason for acute hospital admission.
The Irish Sleep Apnoea Trust (ISAT) Iontaobhas Apnoea Codlata na hÉireann is delighted to be associated with the Irish Lung Health Alliance and all of its partners.
