Welcome to
Lung Health Centre
Lung Health Centre is a non-profit organisation that aims to provide diagnosis and treatment for chronic lung diseases. Our initial focus will be on the diagnosis and treatment of COPD and Asthma in Sierra Leone. We will also undertake research to better understand these diseases and the causative factors.
World Lung Day 25 September 2024!
We’re celebrating the importance of lung health and raising awareness about the steps we can all take to breathe more easily.
Whether you’re managing asthma, COPD, or simply looking to improve your respiratory health, we are here to support you.
Here are some top tips for Healthier Lungs:
- Quit Smoking: The single most important step to protect your lungs from long-term damage.
- Breathe Better: Practise deep breathing exercises daily to strengthen your lungs and improve airflow.
- Stay Active: Regular physical activity, such as walking, running or swimming, helps keep your lungs strong and boosts your overall health.
- Eat Smart: A balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and omega-3 fatty acids can help reduce inflammation and support lung function.
- Air Quality Matters: Be mindful of your environment. Avoid pollutants and allergens and ensure good ventilation indoors.
- Know the Symptoms: Early detection of lung issues like asthma, COPD, and lung cancer can save lives. Don’t ignore a persistent cough, breathlessness, or chest pain.
On this World Lung Day, we encourage everyone to take action for healthier lungs and a healthier planet. Let’s breathe easy together by spreading the message of prevention and care.
Remember, small changes can make a big difference!
Lung Health Centre recently conducted a month-long asthma and COPD pilot screening in Bo, Sierra Leone.
