Lung Foundation of Malaysia (LFM)

The Lung Foundation of Malaysia (LFM) is a non-profit foundation established in November 2005 to gather funds to contribute towards the improvement of standard of care and treatment of patients with lung diseases.

Chronic lung diseases such as bronchopulmonary dysplasia in children, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in adults and asthma in both children and adults are among lung diseases that commonly inflict people and lead to prolonged suffering and disability. Care for these people can also be difficult and expensive especially if it involves the usage of life support devices.

Our mission

Established by a group of medical professionals and corporate citizens fuelled with the determination to enable patients with lung diseases to get the best care and treatment and to live as healthily as possible, LFM aims to achieve the following:

i) To receive and administer funds for education, research and charitable purposes in relation to respiratory diseases for the public’s welfare,
ii) To contribute towards scientific research, teaching, training and publication for the purpose of improving the knowledge, skills and care for patients in Malaysia,
iii) To organise and support schemes for the improvement of the standard of care of patients with lung diseases in this country, and
iv) To assist in the giving of relief to patients with chronic lung diseases.

Our services

In LFM, we offer support for patients afflicted with lung diseases so that they can lead a better quality of life with minimal suffering. We also seek to achieve paradigm shift by increasing the awareness and knowledge among the public on lung diseases and fund scientific researches related to improvement of treatment of the diseases.
