World COPD Day

World COPD Day is observed annually on the third Wednesday of November to raise awareness about Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), a progressive lung disease that causes breathing difficulties and affects millions of people worldwide. Organised by the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD), this day aims to increase understanding of COPD, promote prevention measures, and highlight the importance of early diagnosis and effective management.

COPD is often caused by long-term exposure to harmful pollutants such as tobacco smoke or occupational hazards. The day encourages individuals to recognise the symptoms of COPD, such as persistent cough and shortness of breath, and to seek medical attention if necessary. It also advocates for improved healthcare access and resources to support those living with COPD.
