Welcome to Filha's LinkedIn page. Filha (Finnish Lung Health Association) is a non-governmental public health organisation fighting against tuberculosis and lung diseases. Our main activities include implementation of prevention and treatment programmes, educating health care professionals and enhancing networking of experts. Filha acts nationally in Finland but also in its neighbouring areas and in areas of less developed health care infrastructure. Filha was founded in 1907 and is thus one of the oldest public health organisations in Finland. Since 1997 Filha acts as a WHO Collaborating Centre for Prevention, Control and Treatment of Tuberculosis and since 2001 as a Collaborating Centre of the Union (International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease).
