2024 Pulmonary Fibrosis Awareness Month
In September the CRE-PF marked world Pulmonary Fibrosis Awareness Month.
This is a global campaign to boost understanding about pulmonary fibrosis, its symptoms and the sources of information available to support those impacted.
Almost a million Australians are living with pulmonary fibrosis. Despite its significant impact, awareness about this incurable condition remains low.
In September 2024 we worked with Lung Foundation Australia to shine a light on pulmonary fibrosis.
Pulmonary Fibrosis Awareness Month activities:
- Every work day in September we will shared a new research fact about pulmonary fibrosis.
- We worked with Lung Foundation Australia to create a new animation which explains what pulmonary fibrosis is.
- We held educational webinars for people living with pulmonary fibrosis and GPs.
- We lit up landmarks across the country in blue as part of the international #BlueUp4PF campaign.
- We worked with media to showcase the Australian research making a difference in the lives of people with pulmonary fibrosis.
What is Pulmonary Fibrosis
We created this animation in collaboration with Lung Foundation Australia to clearly explain what pulmonary fibrosis is and some of the causes.
Join us this September as we stand together to raise awareness of pulmonary fibrosis!
