Global Respiratory Summit 2022

GAAPP held its annual Global Respiratory Summit on 2 September in Barcelona with 30 patient advocacy groups in attendance and an additional 36 registered to attend virtually. The day included an overview of the last year of GAAPP activities, campaigns, and projects, followed by two interactive breakout sessions.

The first breakout session was divided by disease focus with groups representing Asthma, COPD, and Rare diseases. These groups were tasked with identifying a priority message to drive awareness, as well as crafting messages to the patient community and health care providers, and concluding with a policy change needed to improve outcomes.

The second Breakout session was segmented by regional representation, APAC, Africa + the Middle East, Balkan region, Europe, Ibero-America, and North America. The intent of these groups was to discuss the challenges faced in these regions and potential solutions and identify collaborations to achieve these goals.
