        30 Oct 2025  
  
      Breaths is a new IPCRG initiative designed to enhance primary care providers' capability, confidence, and motivation in delivering high-quality respiratory care. It leverages structured microlearning strategies tailored to the time constraints of primary healthcare professionals.
By the end of this session, you will be able to identify key global and local risk factors for COPD; explain how environmental and occupational exposures such as fine particulate matter (PM2.5) contribute to the disease; and mitigate COPD risk through advice on local and personal risk factors and prevention strategies.
