“1000 Solidarity Breaths”
Collective
The first platform for exchange and support dedicated to individuals affected by respiratory diseases and their caregivers, born from the urgent need to create a space where they can come together within a compassionate community.
This collective is committed to breaking the isolation imposed by illness.
It will offer everyone a place to share their experiences, ask questions, and express themselves without guilt, while feeling genuinely heard and understood.
For let us not forget, only a patient or a caregiver can truly comprehend what the other endures on a daily basis.
Respiratory Health
Key Figures:

Third Leading Cause of Death
Respiratory diseases represent a major concern for global health, accounting for approximately one in six deaths in industrialized countries, with a rate comparable to that of the early 20th century.
Millions of Patients Across Industrialized Nations
Shortage of Pulmonologists and Medical Desertification
Often invisible, these diseases lead to significant disabilities. They impose a double burden: facing the daily struggle of the illness itself and coping with a disability that is frequently unseen and too often ignored.
While a significant portion of the territory in industrialized countries is affected by medical desertification, the limited availability of pulmonologists creates a profound inequality in access to specialized care.
A Detrimental Impact on the Quality of Life of Patients and Their Caregivers

The Evidence of an Imperative
“Towards essential support and resources for Victims and their Family Caregivers within a Multidisciplinary Community.”
