What is World COPD Day?

World COPD Day, held on a Wednesday in November, is organised by the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) and was first marked in 2002. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a long-term lung condition that makes breathing harder over time and is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. The day promotes early diagnosis with simple breathing tests, quitting smoking, cleaner air and better access to treatment and rehabilitation.
