CCASI began with one purpose: ensuring no one living with Pulmonary Hypertension (PH) in Nigeria faces the journey alone. We champion awareness, patient voices, better care, access to treatment, and community support. 💙 One patient, one story, one community at a time.

What is Pulmonary Hypertension (PH)? 💙 PH affects the blood vessels between the heart and lungs, making the heart work harder. Awareness, early diagnosis and support matter. Together, let’s put the pieces of hope together. No one should face PH alone. #PulmonaryHypertension

A cough that won’t go away shouldn’t be ignored. If it lasts more than 8 weeks, talk to a doctor. Seek help sooner for blood, unexplained weight loss, or fever. Patient Navigator: chroniccough.gaapp.org #LetsTalkCough #WorldChronicCoughDay #ChronicCough #WCCD2026

A cough lasting more than 8 weeks in adults or 4 weeks in children is #ChronicCough. It is a disease in its own right and can last for years. Awareness can help improve diagnosis and treatment. chroniccough.gaapp.org #LetsTalkCough #WorldChronicCoughDay #WCCD2026

🧠 What stands between a happy face and a sad face? 😊😔 For many living with pulmonary hypertension (PH), it’s an invisible burden. Research suggests 37% experience anxiety and 28% depression. 💙 On #WorldMentalHealthDay, let’s care for the mind as well as the heart and lungs.

Europe needs a stronger, shared commitment to lung health. 🫁 A European Lung Health Plan can bring prevention, early diagnosis, access to care and investment together — while tackling stigma and protecting future generations. Our policy is to #KeepBreathing. #ELHG #PHAEurope

❤️ 29 September – World Heart Day | #DontMissABeat Every heartbeat matters — and so does the circulation that connects the heart and lungs. Cardiovascular disease remains the world’s leading cause of death, but many risk factors can be prevented or managed through awareness, ⤵️
