PARTNERS

The Belgian Lung Foundation (BeLF), the European Lung Foundation (ELF) and patient organisations, for their part, are key players in representing the voices of people living with lung disease.

They play a key role in:
• Informing and raising awareness amongst the general public about the prevention, screening and symptoms of
respiratory diseases• Providing practical support to patients and their families, through support groups, counselling services or
practical advice• Helping to improve patients’ quality of life through therapeutic education programmes and
daily disease management• Strengthening the link between patients, healthcare professionals and policy-makers, to ensure that real needs are taken into account in public health policies

These partners work hand in hand, complementing the BeRS and its experts, to ensure a holistic and patient-centred approach to the management of lung diseases. Together, we are united in a common mission!
