Pursuant to Proclamation No. 501, s. 2003, the third Wednesday of November of every year is Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Awareness Day

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Awareness

The law says:

“WHEREAS, under Proclamation No. 263, dated September 23, 2002, the month of October was declared as COPD Awareness Month to initiate and carry on an intensified campaign against chronic lung diseases which is among the top ten causes of mortality in our country;

WHEREAS, there is continuing need for national awareness of the growing prevalence of lung diseases among our people which should be attended with urgency; and

WHEREAS, the international celebration of the “COPD Day” is every third Wednesday of November.”

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a prevalent respiratory condition characterized by restricted airflow and difficulties in breathing. Commonly referred to as emphysema or chronic bronchitis, COPD encompasses a range of lung diseases often affecting individuals with both chronic bronchitis and emphysema.

Moreover, COPD exhibits a higher prevalence in rural areas, being more than twice as common. Factors contributing to this disparity include exposure to air pollution from occupational sources such as dust, fumes, smoke, or chemicals, particularly in professions like farming, mining, or manufacturing.
