The European Federation of Allergy and Airways Diseases Patients’ Associations (EFA) is an independent non-profit organisation with its central office located in Brussels, Belgium. EFA is a European alliance of over 30 allergy, asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients’ associations representing 30% of European citizens currently living with these diseases.
As a European patient-led advocacy and action organisation, we strive to involve patients with asthma, allergy and COPD in European decisions that influence their health. Through our members, we advocate and try to ensure that the right and access of people with asthma, allergy and COPD to best quality care, to participate in their care, have a safe environment of care and to live uncompromised lives is guaranteed by EU decision-makers.
