Understanding COPD
Recently, a talk about COPD was held at Makati Shangri La hotel. The discussion provided significant information about the cause and impact of COPD in Filipino families. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the 21st century. The Global Burden of Disease Study by the World Health Organization projected that COPD will become the third leading cause of death worldwide by 2020.
