Respiratory conditions like asthma, COPD and sleep apnoea affect 700,000 New Zealanders. That’s 1 in 7 of us. It’s the third most common cause of death in the country and costs us $7 billion each year.
The Asthma and Respiratory Foundation NZ wants to see those figures change. We educate, advocate, support and research to improve the lives of Kiwis with respiratory conditions. Find out more about our work here.
