Washingtoner/10271470

VIENNA & HENDERSONVILLE, Tenn. - Washingtoner -- Is a cough "just" a cough? You may be surprised to learn, most healthy people cough an average of 18 times per day. Imagine if you coughed 20 times per hour. Imagine counting more than 450 times per day for longer than eight weeks. This is the lived experience of more than 10% of the general population who are living with Recurrent Chronic Cough. October 15, 2024, marks the first World Chronic Cough Day.

Global Allergy & Airways Patient Platform (GAAPP) with its 150 patient organizations globally come together to raise awareness of the disease of recurrent chronic cough. GAAPP has joined forces with medical experts & community stakeholders, as well as governments to formally raise awareness & educate the public about this debilitating disease. They will host a global webinar with experts on October 15 and will release formal proclamations with state, federal & global policymakers recognizing the day.
