It’s #WorldAsthmaDay!
Asthma is mostly under-diagnosed & under-treated, particularly in children. Globally, asthma affected an estimated 262 million people in 2019 and caused 455 000 deaths.
What is Asthma?
It is a common lung condition that causes intermittent breathing difficulties. It often starts in childhood, although it can also develop in adults.
