Asthma affects more than 300 million people worldwide. Although asthma cannot be cured, it can be treated and controlled. Good asthma control means no, or very minimal, symptoms, and a low risk of asthma attacks or other poor outcomes. More importantly, good asthma control means, a person can live life normally!
Governments of over 190 countries globally have committed to achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, one of which is to reduce premature mortality due to non-communicable diseases (NCDs), asthma being one of them.
