The Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Association (Singapore) is a non-profit organization founded in 2004 with the primary aims of promoting awareness of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and helping patients and caregivers affected by the disease.
We are organizing a series of online educational webinars where online discussion (chit-chat) is encouraged
A tentative list of educational topics is provided in this schedule.
Whether you are a patient, care-provider, healthcare worker or simply someone interested to know more about COPD in Singapore, please join us as we build an online community where sharing is caring. Someone once said that the closer you are to the problem, the more likely you are to have a solution to it. You never know if you have the solution to someone else’s difficulty in coping with COPD.
