🫁“Short of Breath, Think COPD”
COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) is the third leading cause of death worldwide, yet it remains underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed far too often.
This year’s theme urges us to recognize the signs:
✅ Shortness of breath
✅ Chronic cough or sputum production
✅ Recurrent lower respiratory infections
✅ Exposure to to***co, cooking fuels, or occupational hazards
COPD is common, preventable, and treatable, but early diagnosis is key. Timely treatment can improve symptoms, lung function, and quality of life.
Let’s raise awareness and encourage earlier diagnosis.
If you or someone you know is “short of breath,” it’s time to think COPD.
