GINA / WHO Initiative

GINA is one of the founding participants in the World Health Organization's Global Alliance Against Chronic Respiratory Diseases (GARD).

The goal of this effort is to improve collaboration between already existing governmental and non-governmental programs against chronic respiratory diseases. Improved coordination will help use resources efficiently and avoid duplication of efforts.

Ultimately, the participants will develop a comprehensive global approach to the prevention and control of chronic respiratory diseases, with a special emphasis on developing countries.
