Breathe Easier, Live Brighter: Join the Fight Against Asthma & COPD with Asthma NZ!
Imagine a New Zealand where every single Kiwi with asthma or COPD thrives, living life to the fullest. That's the dream Asthma NZ fights for every day.
As the nation's leading asthma educator since 1965, we know education is power. It empowers individuals to manage their condition effectively, reducing hospitalizations and improving overall well-being.
Our ambitious goal? A 50% reduction in asthma and COPD hospital admissions by 2029.
The Lung Health Business Clinic, from Asthma New Zealand, is a program to help improve the respiratory health of your employees.
The Lung Health Business Clinic from Asthma New Zealand can help in two ways:
1. ASTHMA EDUCATION CLINIC -
Did you know that asthma affects an estimated 13% of the workforce? Uncontrolled asthma can significantly impact employee health and productivity, leading to an average of 10 additional sick days per person annually.
By investing in asthma education for employees and their families, from Asthma New Zealand, you can empower them to manage their condition effectively. This proactive approach can help reduce asthma-related absenteeism and boost overall workplace productivity.
2. LUNG FUNCTION TESTS (SPIROMETRY) -
In New Zealand, regulations mandate that businesses proactively identify and assess potential risks associated with employee exposure to hazardous airborne substances, such as dusts, fibers, and others.
This assessment includes determining the need for a health monitoring program. If there's a possibility of exposure impacting lung function, spirometry, a lung function test, may be recommended.
