On World Asthma Day health experts and global organisations are calling for urgent action to make asthma treatment accessible to all.
With over 250 million people living with asthma globally, the spotlight is on the lack of access to affordable, quality-assured inhaled medicines - a problem that continues to cost lives despite decades of clinical evidence supporting their effectiveness.
The Global Asthma Network (GAN) marked the day with the launch of the Global Asthma Report, patient stories, a collection of first-hand accounts revealing the daily struggles of people living with asthma.
The report highlights the benefits of timely diagnosis and treatment while underscoring the tragic consequences of systemic delays and medicine shortages.
