Although COPD is "slow", prevention and ** cannot be slow
In 2023, the community COPD health management in Shanghai will be fully launched, and at present, the Baoshan District Community Health Service Center is gradually improving the integration and whole-process health management of COPD prevention, screening of high-risk groups, early diagnosis, standardized diagnosis and treatment, and first-class services. So what are the COPD health management services available in the community?Please**"Respiratory Health, "Lung" You Belong" health education film
