World Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Day will be marked on Wednesday with a series of talks on the disease at Mater Dei Hospital Physiotherapy Department, delivered by doctors, physiotherapists, nutritionists and pharmacists.

COPD affects an estimated 44 million Europeans. It is a debilitating disease of the respiratory system, which may remain undiagnosed and it is estimated that it will become the leading cause of death by 2030.

Those interested in attending the talks are asked to reserve a place by calling 2545 6066.
