La bronchopneumopathie chronique obstructive est une affection pulmonaire caractérisée par un blocage persistant de l’écoulement des gaz inspirés au niveau des poumons. C’est une maladie pulmonaire sous-diagnostiquée, qui engage le pronostic vital. WHO fact sheet on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ( COPD ) provides key facts and information on symptoms, diagnosis and treatment, risk factors and WHO response. La enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica (EPOC) es una enfermedad pulmonar crónica común, prevenible y tratable que afecta a hombres y mujeres de todo el mundo. Each year, over 3 million lives are silently cut short by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ( COPD ), a noncommunicable disease too often overlooked despite affecting over 380 million people globally.
