Reporter Takes COPD Test: Expanded Testing for At-Risk Groups

For the first time, Region Sörmland is launching a themed week dedicated to Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). In 2024, the disease claimed the lives of 106 individuals in the region, underscoring the urgent need for awareness and early intervention. This initiative aims to identify at-risk patients sooner through targeted screening and testing, ultimately saving lives and improving outcomes for those affected by this chronic condition.
