Abstract

Chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs) affect almost 470 million people worldwide, and this number is growing. CRDs take a significant toll on the capacity of health systems and economies, and their effect on people's lives can be devastating. Despite high rates of prevalence and mortality, CRDs are underprioritised by policymakers and governments. Tackling these conditions will require a holistic, multisectoral approach, including government-led strategies for prevention, diagnosis, management and investment in research. In this article, we provide a clear rationale for prioritising CRDs to advance population health. Proactive steps in countries of all income levels must be taken promptly to limit the growing prevalence and impact of CRDs both now and in the future.
