Respiratory disease in the era of COVID – a global perspective

Welcome to the inaugural Forum of International Respiratory Societies (FIRS)/World Health Organization (WHO) webinar for World Lung Day: Respiratory disease in the era of COVID – a global perspective.

FIRS and WHO have gathered experts from around the world to discuss the burden of respiratory diseases globally, what can be done to combat respiratory disease in the era of COVID, and how we can address unequal access to prevention schemes and treatment in lower and middle-income countries.
