COPD: Prevention, Diagnosis & Management

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a preventable and manageable respiratory condition, and early intervention plays a key role in slowing disease progression and improving patients' quality of life. Reducing exposure to risk factors, recognizing symptoms at an early stage, and using appropriate diagnostic tools can help achieve timely diagnosis and more effective treatment. Comprehensive disease management, combined with patient education and regular follow-up, is essential for controlling symptoms, preventing exacerbations, and supporting long-term respiratory health. This session will explore current approaches to COPD prevention, diagnosis, and management, with a focus on evidence-based clinical practice and multidisciplinary patient care.
