Pulmonale - Associação Portuguesa de Luta Contra o Cancro do Pulmão - is a non-profit organization founded in late 2009. Composed of healthcare professionals, patients, and the general public, Pulmonale aims to promote the screening and early diagnosis of lung cancer, as well as to provide counseling and support to affected individuals. Their mission includes primary and secondary prevention with a focus on raising awareness about the harmful effects of smoking, offering advice and support for lung cancer treatment, providing psychological and social support to patients and caregivers, disseminating credible and up-to-date information about the disease to the general public, promoting awareness campaigns, and collaborating with private and official organizations on a national and international level.

By prioritizing early action and addressing the social stigma associated with lung cancer, Pulmonale strives to improve outcomes and make a positive impact in the fight against this disease. Visit their website or contact them to learn more about their initiatives and how you can contribute
