Mission of the ild care foundation website

What is not known is not recognized. The ild care foundation is committed to improving awareness, recognition, and understanding of interstitial lung diseases (ild), such as sarcoidosis and pulmonary fibrosis, with the ultimate goal of enhancing quality of life for patients and their loved ones.

Interstitial lung diseases are often underrecognized and difficult to diagnose, which may delay appropriate care. By providing clear and accessible information through our website, newsletters, podcasts, and events, we support patients, healthcare professionals, and the wider community in recognizing these conditions earlier.

We stimulate research into the causes, treatment, and prevention of ild, and actively bridge the gap between science and clinical practice. At the same time, we support innovation in diagnostics and promote awareness of factors such as environmental exposures and medication-related risks.

We believe in personalized, patient-centered care, where individual needs and preferences guide decision-making. Although knowledge is growing, much remains unknown. Therefore, we continue to work towards earlier recognition, better understanding, and improved care — together with patients, clinicians, and researchers.
