The NAEP
World Asthma Day – 7 May 2024. Asthma is one of the most common chronic non-communicable diseases that affects over 260 million people and is responsible for over 450000 deaths each year worldwide, most of which are preventable.
NAEP emphasises the need to empower people with asthma with the appropriate education to manage their disease, and to recognize when to seek medical help.
Health care professionals are called upon to increase their awareness of the continuing avoidable morbidity and mortality from asthma, and the published evidence on effective management of asthma, so they are equipped to provide reliable information and optimal treatment for their patients.
