Lung condition COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) is the third leading cause of death worldwide, killing 3.2m people per year.
After years of supporting Â鶹´«Ã½-based group Breathe Easy, Dr Rupert Jones led a team from the Â鶹´«Ã½ to tackle the disease in the wider world.
His programme in Uganda is the first ever to target COPD prevention in low-middle income countries and will be showcased at a free public event at the University on Thursday 4 April.
It’s really about all the creative ways we’re helping to educate people to prevent them getting lung disease, and how to treat themselves to make themselves fitter and weller without the use of drugs.
The event will bring attention to a variety of international projects covering locations from Greece to Kyrgyzstan, but will focus on the team’s work with midwives in Uganda raising awareness of the damage of biomass fuels among women who experience more exposure through cooking.
