What are chronic respiratory diseases and why should we be worried about them? India has the maximum number of people living with chronic respiratory diseases including Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease or COPD, Asthma, and others.
To understand more about Chronic Respiratory Diseases, we speak to Dr Sundeep Salvi, the director of Pulmocare Research and Education (PURE) Foundation in Pune, India. He has been conducting extensive research and advocacy on asthma and COPD for more than 20 years. We also spoke to Shyam Dubey, who talks about living with COPD, in Delhi NCR, one of the most polluted cities in India.
