World COPD Day 2006

World COPD Day 2006 took place on Wednesday, November 15. In 2006, the event continued to develop the theme introduced for WCD 2005, "Breathless not Helpless!" This positive theme was chosen to emphasize that there is help for COPD. More than 80 events in over 30 countries around the world helped raise awareness that breathlessness is not just an inevitable part of getting older, and there are treatments available to help people who have been diagnosed with COPD feel better and live more active lives.
