25 September 2022 is World Lung Day for health advocacy to take action and promote better lung health globally with the focus on saying no to tobacco, protecting people through vaccination, breathing clean air, take regular physical exercise.
In conjunction with World Lung Day, Asthma Malaysia organized a Fun Walk 5km at Taman Botani Negara, Shah Alam. Asthma Malaysia is a non-profitable organization with the mission
- to serve as a credible resource on asthma
- to raise awareness of the best standards of care
- to empower patients in the management of their asthma
Asthma Malaysia's vision is to be the leading portal for asthma with a view to creating more informed and empowered patients. They aim to ensure that asthma care in Malaysia is equal to the best in the world with a view to reducing the suffering and deaths associated with it. They intend to evolve and proactively engage in research and promotional campaigns to increase awareness of asthma in Malaysia.
The day started with heavy rain and then became slowly making everyone anxious in the first place. While YB Khairy (Minister of Health Malaysia) and Dr Helmy (Cofounder of Asthma Malaysia and Consultant Respiratory Physicians) joined in the walk too.
Fun Walk with my family. I'm glad my baby is joining us and my mum made it her first 5km as a cancer patient. Let's create more memories.
Completed a 5km walk and received a cute glass medal. It's a happy family day. While resting and eating the day continue with a lucky draw, memorandum, and health talk.
For your information, The Generational End Game Bill aims to ban smoking for those born from 2007 onwards. It's a huge game changer when referring to a section of the Control of Tobacco Products and Smoking Bill 2022.
The above is in line with the Global Initiative for Asthma, a World Health Organization collaborative organization founded in 1993 to increase global awareness of asthma. Understanding asthma cannot be cured, it may be managed to lessen and avoid asthma attacks.
