About Us

We are on a mission to save the lives of people suffering from lung disease who do not have access to adequate healthcare.

Our Mission

The Breathe Well Initiative is founded on the belief that everyone, regardless of their location or background, deserves to breathe well.

Our goal is to establish a centre where patients can receive early diagnosis for chronic lung diseases, research their causes, provide train-the-trainer model, and educate communities on prevention.

We have collaborated with The Ministry of Health, Sierra Leone to produce the country's first COPD guidelines.
