If you live with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), you know the impact this condition can have on your life. Daily activities like going to work, family outings, or even climbing the stairs can become a challenge. New treatments and approaches may be available to relieve your COPD symptoms.

During this first-of-its-kind session, you will:

• ● Hear from leading global experts about new treatments and approaches for managing COPD
• ● Listen to interactive discussions between providers and patient advocates on important topics in COPD care
• ● Meet and talk with other individuals living with COPD and their caregivers

The 2023 GOLD International COPD Patient Education Session is hosted by the Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) and the Temple Lung Center in collaboration with the COPD Foundation. It is held during the 2023 GOLD International COPD Conference, an annual event for healthcare providers involved in managing and caring for people with COPD.

The Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) works with healthcare professionals and public health officials around the world to raise awareness of COPD and to improve prevention and treatment of this lung disease. Through the development of evidence-based strategy documents for the management of COPD, and annual events such as World COPD Day and the GOLD International COPD Conference, GOLD is working to improve the lives of people with COPD in every corner of the globe.

GOLD was launched in 1997 in collaboration with the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, National Institutes of Health, USA, and the World Health Organization.
