Respiratory diseases, particularly asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), are two chronic conditions that place a significant medical, economic, and social burden globally. Despite continuous advances in treatment, their prevalence and mortality rates show no signs of decline.
According to projections by the World Health Organization (WHO), COPD is expected to become the third leading cause of death worldwide, surpassing mortality rates from HIV/AIDS and lung cancer by 2020. Studies indicate that although an estimated 4.2% of the population suffers from COPD, a concerning majority remains undiagnosed due to a lack of public awareness and limitations in the expertise of community healthcare systems—even among some healthcare professionals.
Despite the significant burden caused by asthma and COPD—with low diagnosis and control rates—these diseases have yet to receive the attention and prioritization they deserve as chronic conditions requiring long-term outpatient management.
