However, around 50% of people with symptoms are undiagnosed, denying them the opportunity to take the crucial early steps needed to stem progression and improve outcomes. Ahead of World COPD Day 2023, and in alignment with this year’s theme of Breathing is Life - Act Earlier, this virtual learning event will highlight the need for action in early and accurate COPD risk identification and diagnosis.
