Turn The Tide on Lung Cancer – Accelerating Lung Cancer Reform

The video “Turn the Tide on Lung Cancer – Accelerating Lung Cancer Reform” by Lung Foundation Australia highlights the urgent need for comprehensive action to address the devastating impact of lung cancer in Australia. It underscores that lung cancer is the nation’s leading cause of cancer death, claiming a life every hour.

Despite its severity, funding for early detection, research, treatment, and support remains critically low.

The video introduces Lung Foundation Australia’s Strategic Blueprint, which outlines six urgent actions for the government to implement in order to improve outcomes for lung cancer patients.
These actions include increasing funding for research, enhancing early detection programs, improving access to treatment, and providing better support for patients and their families.

Personal stories from individuals affected by lung cancer are shared to illustrate the human toll of the disease and the need for immediate reform.

The video also calls on viewers to raise awareness and advocate for change by sharing the video and contacting their local Members of Parliament

The overarching message is one of hope and determination, emphasizing that with coordinated national action and increased investment, significant progress can be made in the fight against lung cancer.
Lung Foundation Australia aims to transform lung cancer care and save thousands of lives through this initiative.
