The Spanish Society of Pulmonology and Thoracic Surgery (SEPAR) reports that only 50 percent of patients diagnosed with chronic respiratory conditions, specifically asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (EPOC), adhere to their prescribed treatment regimens. Dr. Andrea Trisán, a member of the organization, issued this finding to highlight the ongoing challenge of patient compliance in managing these diseases.
In light of these statistics, SEPAR has issued a public advisory urging patients to maintain consistent treatment throughout the summer months. The organization emphasizes that neglecting medical protocols during this period can lead to complications, underscoring the necessity of continuous management for chronic respiratory health.
