Lung Foundation New Zealand

Lung Foundation NZ is an independent

non-government organisation dedicated to promoting healthy lungs and early detection of lung disease (including lung cancer, NZ's biggest cancer killer).

The Foundation advocates on a range of issues, including access to more effective funded treatments, an increase in research funding and a commitment to making Aotearoa a Smokefree nation by 2025.

Your support will help our cause save lives by increasing the awareness and early detection of lung disease.

Our vision - New Zealanders know how to keep their lungs healthy and they investigate symptoms of lung disease.

Four key messages:

1. Lung disease can affect anyone.

2. You need to see a doctor if you have;

– shortness of breath

– chest pains

– an unexplained cough

– noisy breathing.

3. Lung disease can be treated - the earlier

you start treatment the better.

4. To look after your lungs don’t smoke and

be active.
