COPD advice

Living with COPD can present patients and their relatives with various challenges that can have a major impact on everyday life. Our team of specialist care experts will do everything in their power to maintain or even improve your quality of life despite your illness.

COPD is a chronic disease that cannot be cured. Nevertheless, lifestyle adjustments can often slow the progression of the disease and make everyday life less restricted.

Die COPD Beratung arbeitet eng mit der Physiotherapie, Ernährungsberatung und anderen Fachdiensten zusammen.
