Breathe Vision 2030

We are pleased to share the details of an upcoming MEP lung health group event, ‘Towards a European Health Union – BREATHE Vision for the future’, which will take place virtually on 27 January, 2021 from 10:00–11:15 CET.

December 21st 2020 - COVID-19 has had a profound impact on the respiratory community. The newly formed European lung health collaboration welcomes the tremendous efforts made in the development of safe vaccines for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, and celebrates the European Medicines Agency (EMA) approval of the first vaccine for COVID-19.

On 27th January 2021 the European Parliament Lung Health Group hosted the ‘Towards a European Health Union: BREATHE vision for the future’, the digital launch of the Breathe Vision for 2030. The launch event discussed the current context of health in Europe and the five themes in the Breathe Vision for 2030: Awareness, Prevention, Access, Research, and the impact of COVID-19.

This paper aims to create a Breathe Vision for 2030, outlining the changes that lung patients want to see in their lives. The importance of these changes is reflected in the impact that lung health has on our general health.
