Global Oxygen Alliance graphic with text that reads: "480 million people are affected by chronic respiratory diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, and others. This includes 96 million children under 15."

The global burden of chronic respiratory diseases is rising, & many who require #oxygen to manage their illness don't have access to it.

As world leaders gather for #UNGA80 HLM on NCDs, #GO2AL calls for urgent action to address this overlooked treatment ➡️ https://bit.ly/48A1yL0

Infographic titled "What can be done to address oxygen access for NCDs in LMIC?" with three sections. On the left, "Prioritization of oxygen as part of policies and funding," includes bullet points about aligning with national health goals and ensuring equitable access through investments. In the middle, "Thoughtful use of oxygen at health facilities and at home," highlighting the maintenance of a mix of sustainable power sources and guidelines for patient-centric care. On the right, "Stronger data systems for informed decision-making," advocates for more complete data on chronic respiratory diseases and emphasizes the use of high-quality data for cost-effectiveness. Icons include a globe, a home, and a data dashboard.

Donors and other global partners at today's #UNGA80 HLM on NCDs have a role to play in supporting LMICs to improve access to high-quality oxygen therapy and reduce the overall burden from chronic respiratory diseases.
