About Us

The Asthma and Chest Care Foundation, previously known as Asthma and Chest Concerns, is a community-based Non-Governmental Organisation dedicated to helping people breathe better. Founded in 1997 from the personal concern of its founder, the foundation supports individuals with Asthma, Tuberculosis, and other lung diseases.

For several years, the foundation has provided education, patient care, counseling, and training of health professionals, as well as conducted research projects to improve the lives of those affected by lung diseases. Our efforts include public seminars, workshops, and campaigns that reach diverse groups such as health professionals, artisans, students, and the broader community.

The Growing Burden of Lung Diseases

Lung diseases are a significant public health challenge, accounting for over 50% of emergency visits in hospitals nationwide. Asthma, Tuberculosis, and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) are among the most pressing concerns. These conditions cause significant morbidity and mortality and demand targeted interventions to improve awareness, early diagnosis, and healthcare access.

"Lung health is essential to the overall well-being of our society. Together, we can create a future where respiratory diseases no longer compromise the quality of life."
