The clinic aims to address a critical gap in respiratory care, including proper inhaler techniques.

Inhaler therapy remains the cornerstone of treatment for many pulmonary conditions. However, studies show that up to 94 percent of patients do not use their inhalers correctly, leading to poor symptom control, frequent exacerbations, and reduced quality of life.
