Lets create awareness for Respiratory conditions

We are living great time. Time of progress in all domains of our life. Respiratory medicine is developing very prompt and rapidly. Now we can apply advanced technologies in diagnosis and treatment of respiratory diseases. But persists the huge problem for all mankind which can generate future increasing of prevalence of lung diseases: lack of awareness for respiratory diseases. At the first view this problem is very simple! Unfortunately respiratory conditions are underestimated by patients and underdiagnosed and as a result undertreated by doctors. Awareness must be like religion for healthy people. Paradoxally, awareness remains the “classical” issue for modern respiratory medicine.

Lets create together awareness for Respiratory conditions!
