New Pulmonary Club Forms in Trichur, India
Dr. Col V P Gopinathan, for the Pulmonology Club, Trichur,
India, announced they formed a new club on 16 January 2010.
Forty-four patients joined the doctor supported, patient support
and educational group.
Included in the program were a demonstration of pulmonary devices
and a discussion of the airway diseases shown in the available
brochures handed out to the members.
The newly formed Pulmonary Club proposes to hold meetings
bimonthly on the first Sunday and to increase membership. India’s
medical students are actively involved and office bearers include
patients.
India’s Pulmonary Physicians have a good start in their quest to
control the growing airway menace, including Chronic Obstructive
Pulmonary Disease (COPD) menace.
As a lung patient (COPD and Sarcoidosis) living in the Pulmonary Desert of No Physician Patient COPD Club in Kitsap County, Washington, sincere congratulations to Dr. Col C P Gopinathan and Associates for their newly formed Pulmonology Club, Trichur, India.
