World Oxygen Day

Join the COPD Foundation on October 2 (“O-2”) for World Oxygen Day!


What is World Oxygen Day?

World Oxygen Day celebrates everyone who benefits from oxygen therapy. From tiny babies to older adults, millions of people rely on oxygen to breathe easier and live better. Oxygen therapy is recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) as essential for treating serious illnesses and improving quality of life.

Why is Oxygen Therapy Important?

Oxygen therapy helps people with chronic breathing problems. Despite its importance, many people struggle to get the oxygen equipment they need. The COVID-19 pandemic made this even harder. World Oxygen Day aims to highlight these challenges and push for better access to oxygen therapy.

How Can You Help?

With support from generous partners, World Oxygen Day works to:

  • Share knowledge about oxygen therapy
  • Advocate for better access to oxygen equipment
  • Reduce the stigma around oxygen use

Everybody needs oxygen. Some bodies need a little extra. By supporting World Oxygen Day, you can help improve the lives of those who need it.
