数以亿计的各种年龄的人患有慢性呼吸道疾病，包括哮喘和呼吸道过敏、慢性阻塞性肺病、职业性肺病和肺动脉高压。超过5亿患者生活在发展中国家或贫困人口中。慢性呼吸道疾病的发病率正在上升。尽管不采取行动的代价是明确和不可接受的，但慢性呼吸道疾病及其风险因素没有得到医疗保健界、政府官员、媒体、患者和家庭的足够重视。第五十三届世界卫生大会认识到慢性病给人类造成的巨大痛苦，并请世界卫生组织（世卫组织）总干事优先重视慢性病的预防和控制，特别重视发展中国家。这导致了世卫组织全球防治慢性呼吸道疾病联盟（GARD）的成立。GARD是一个由组织、机构和部门组成的自愿联盟，致力于实现一个共同的愿景，即根据当地需求改善全球肺部健康。GARD是采用以下三个规划步骤逐步制定的：估计人口需求和倡导行动;制定和通过政策;确定政策执行步骤。
Hundreds of millions of people of all ages suffer from chronic respiratory diseases which include asthma and respiratory allergies, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, occupational lung diseases and pulmonary hypertension. More than 500 million patients live in developing countries or in deprived populations. Chronic respiratory diseases are increasing in prevalence. Although the cost of inaction is clear and unacceptable, chronic respiratory diseases and their risk factors receive insufficient attention from the healthcare community, government officials, media, patients and families. The Fifty-Third World Health Assembly recognised the enormous human suffering caused by chronic diseases and requested the World Health Organization (WHO) Director General to give priority to the prevention and control of chronic diseases, with special emphasis on developing countries. This led to the formation of the WHO Global Alliance against Chronic Respiratory Diseases (GARD). GARD is a voluntary alliance of organisations, institutions and agencies working towards a common vision to improve global lung health according to local needs. GARD is developed in a stepwise approach using the following three planning steps: estimate population need and advocate action; formulate and adopt policy; and identify policy implementation steps.
