Our YouTube channel is growing; the highlight video from our anniversary celebration is definitely worth watching, and the plasma video is also very interesting and has skyrocketed in views. Practical and everyday resources are, of course, essential for a patient organization. You'll find the three new videos from 2023 at the end of this article.<\/p>\n

Externally, it was a very special success that we were allowed to be part of a nationwide campaign \u201eAir and Lungs\u201c, which was launched on September 26, 2023 by Mediaplanet in the nationwide full circulation of the newspaper DIE WELT + E-Paper as an independent special publication.<\/p>\n

The clickable PDF is available in the online kiosk Yumpu (at least 450,000 guaranteed impressions). All editorial content and articles can also be found at www.gesunder-koerper.info. In this campaign, Marion Wilkens writes about genetically determined COPD and its possible causes. One of these is \u2013 as we all know \u2013 alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency.<\/p>\n

A story on TV was particularly moving: that of \u015eilan, who grew up in a socially disadvantaged neighborhood and set out to become a doctor. It's a touching story with fascinating insights. And the best part: a small part of the documentary was filmed at our patient day in Bad Wildungen, as \u015eilan is part of the UK Aachen team. The nearly 30-minute WDR program is still available in their media library under the title: "I'm Becoming a Doctor \u2013 Made in Marxloh (S03\/E03)".<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t

For many years now, we have enjoyed a partnership with the patient library (circulation over 30,000). It's not just a matter of mutually including magazines and brochures; a friendship has developed that allows us to significantly increase our awareness and visibility. For example, in the first issue of 2023, we were able to write the editorial on the topic of "People Talking," publish an article about our planned anniversary and our history, and share patient stories from some of our members.<\/p>\n

In the second issue, we reported extensively on the anniversary, and in the third, the 40th issue of Atemwege und Lunge (Respiratory Tract and Lungs), we thanked many stakeholders, including our chairwoman: "Marion Wilkens, Chairwoman of Alpha1 Deutschland e. V., is a virtuoso, tireless networker who repeatedly succeeds in creating a 'we' from individuals and also in raising awareness for neglected topics."\u201e<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the article "Identical Symptoms... Different Underlying Diseases" was published, providing important information on when to consider an alpha-1 deficiency. The fourth issue was not yet available at the time of publication, but one thing is certain: Alpha-1 will be included again. Not familiar with the issues yet? No problem, you can find them on our website under Useful Information\/COPD.<\/p>\n

We're continuing to explore new avenues! As mentioned on page 10, we're now on Instagram. We've published over 65 posts on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t
