COPD Support Ireland to bring roadshow to Newbridge on November 18
KildareNow
Latest figures show that between 2020 and 2022, there were 1,014 hospital admissions of people from Kildare due to Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, or COPD1.
In fact, it is estimated that there are 380,000 people living with COPD in Ireland, yet only 110,000 people are thought to have had a formal diagnosis2.
Against this backdrop, and marking World COPD Day on Wednesday November 20, COPD Support Ireland, is embarking on a nationwide COPD & Me Roadshow to spread the word about COPD.
The roadshow will visit the Whitewater Shopping Centre in Newbridge on Monday November 18, between 2 and 5pm.
