The Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) is an organization that aims to improve treatment and awareness of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a progressive lung condition that makes it hard to breathe. GOLD provides international guidelines for diagnosing and managing COPD, helping healthcare professionals to offer better care.
