The aim of the WHO Chronic Respiratory Diseases Programme is to support Member States in
their efforts to reduce the toll of morbidity, disability and premature mortality related
to Chronic Respiratory Diseases, and specifically, asthma and chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (COPD)
Programme Objectives
Better surveillance to map the magnitude of Chronic Respiratory Diseases
and analyse their determinants with particular reference to poor and disadvantaged
populations, and to monitor future trends.
Primary prevention to reduce the level of exposure of individuals and
populations to common risk factors, particularly tobacco, poor nutrition, frequent lower
respiratory infections during childhood, and environmental air pollution (indoor ,
outdoor, and occupational).
Secondary and tertiary prevention to strengthen health care for people
with Chronic Respiratory Diseases by identifying cost-effective interventions, upgrading
standards and accessibility of care at different levels of the health care system.
