Asthma – Everything under control?
Asthma is often misunderstood as well-controlled when quick-relief medication works during attacks. True control means living without frequent symptoms, relying on relievers less than twice a week, and enjoying a normal, active life. In the Middle East, many patients suffer from uncontrolled asthma due to overuse of relievers and lack of specialist care. Empowering patients with self-management skills and regular medical follow-up is key to optimal asthma control.
