World Asthma Day 2022: Theme
World Asthma Day is held on 3 May this year worldwide. Although asthma has no cure, it is possible to manage the condition to reduce and prevent the attacks. The asthma attacks are also called episodes or exacerbations.
GINA has chosen 'Closing Gaps in Asthma Care' as the theme for the 2022 World Asthma Day. Throughout May, people with asthma and organizations involved in asthma control and education come together to raise awareness about asthma and improve the lives of all people suffering from the condition.
