The European Lung Foundation (ELF) is a non-profit organisation that promotes lung health in Europe. It was founded in 2002 by a group of leading European respiratory experts. The ELF’s goal is to improve lung health through research, education and patient support.
The ELF funds research into all aspects of lung disease, including asthma, COPD, lung cancer and tuberculosis. It also provides educational resources for patients and healthcare professionals, and offers support to patients and their families.
In addition to its work in Europe, the ELF is also active in global initiatives to improve lung health. These include the World Health Organization’s Stop TB Partnership and the Global Alliance for Chronic Diseases.
The ELF is headquartered in London, UK.
