Great to see this published in International Journal of COPD! Various challenges to #pulmonaryrehabilitation uptake and completion in an economically-deprived area of India include: 🫁 lack of awareness 🇮🇳 conflicts with work 🫁 low literacy levels https://t.co/kR2JQwELUW

We had a fantastic dissemination event last week in Uganda! Thank you to all presenters and attendees 🫁🌍🇺🇬

Felix Limbani from Malawi then spoke about the need to shift from disease-specific (pulmonary) rehabilitation to multimorbidity rehabilitation

Fanuel Bickton gave an excellent presentation about the experience of pulmonary rehabilitation in patients at a referral hospital in Malawi 🇲🇼

According to Prof. @brucekirenga the @Global_RECHARGE clinical trial is a landmark study showing that pulmonary rehabilitation significantly improves respiratory function and quality of life for TB survivors. This breakthrough could redefine care for post-TB lung disease.
