Today we join the global community in recognising World COPD Day, led by the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease - GOLD in partnership with health professionals and patient groups worldwide.
This year’s theme, “Short of Breath, Think COPD,” highlights an important truth:
👉 COPD is the 3rd leading cause of death worldwide, yet it often goes undiagnosed or misdiagnosed.
👉 Early diagnosis can significantly improve symptoms, lung function, and overall quality of life.
COPD may be under-recognised, but it is preventable and treatable. A diagnosis should be considered in people with:
🌬 Shortness of breath
🌬 Chronic cough or sputum
🌬 Frequent chest infections
🌬 Exposure to smoke, cooking fuels, or workplace hazards
At Momentum Clinical Research, we are committed to advancing research that helps improve diagnosis, treatment, and future care options for people living with chronic respiratory conditions.
Let’s raise awareness, encourage earlier detection, and support those affected.
Together we can reduce the burden of COPD. One conversation, one diagnosis, one study at a time.
