Summary

This study tests whether a supervised exercise and education program (pulmonary rehabilitation) can help people with long-term lung diseases like COPD, asthma, and post-TB lung damage in Nigeria, South Africa, and Cameroon. Researchers will enroll 90 patients to see if the program improves their ability to walk and their quality of life. The goal is to find out if this type of care can work in low-resource settings.
