EFA Info

Welcome to EFAnet

Welcome to the website of the European Federation of Allergy and Airways Diseases Patients Associations (EFA).
There are over 100 million people with asthma, allergy and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in Europe.

EFA is a European network of patient organizations that was founded in 1991, prompted by the belief that an international organization formed by European patients associations that share the same aims would be a more effective way to serve the needs and safeguard the rights of patients and their carers.

We hope you enjoy surfing this site and we look forward to hearing from you!
