Chronic Disease Management.

Chronic Disease Management at The Medical Centre of Gympie

Managing chronic conditions effectively is essential to maintaining your health and quality of life. At The Medical Centre of Gympie, our doctors and nurses are dedicated to helping you prevent, monitor, and manage chronic diseases through personalised care plans.

What is Chronic Disease Management?

​

Chronic diseases are long-term conditions that can have ongoing effects on your daily life. They range from mild conditions, such as short-sightedness and minor hearing loss, to more serious conditions like arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, and cancer.

One example of a chronic disease is Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), a progressive condition that restricts airflow to the lungs, often causing shortness of breath and persistent coughing. Other chronic conditions include asthma, diabetes, hypertension, and osteoporosis.
