2024 Pulmonary Fibrosis Awareness Month
In September the CRE-PF is marking 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.
This month we are working with Lung Foundation Australia to shine a light on pulmonary fibrosis.
What’s happening:
- Every work day in September we will be sharing a new research fact about pulmonary fibrosis.
- Keep an eye out for a new animation which explains what pulmonary fibrosis is.
- We are holding educational webinars for people living with pulmonary fibrosis and GPs.
- We are lighting up landmarks across the country in blue as part of the international #BlueUp4PF campaign.
- We are working 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!
