COPD MED2 International Symposium 2018

ABOUT THE MEETING

Owing to its progressively increasing prevalence, COPD is a global problem anticipated to take the top third place among the most frequent causes of mortality in 2020.

Also as an important cause of increasing health expenditures in many societies, it has become the focus of research particularly in the recent years. Accumulation of rapidly increasing scientific knowledge in the field of COPD cannot be adequately reflected to the clinicians at general congress and meeting environments. This symposium will provide the possibility of sharing and discussing many topics with the participants in detail and depth.
