About

The theme for World Asthma Day 2024 is Asthma Education Empowers.  

Asthma is a major cause of death and disability worldwide, affecting 262 million people.

Asthma education is a key element of asthma management, essential to empower patients and their families to understand and adhere to effective treatment.

Common topics include:

  • What is asthma - what is happening in the lungs and what are the symptoms?
  • How to use asthma medicines correctly
  • How to reduce exposure to common asthma triggers, such as tobacco smoke and air pollution
  • How to assess asthma control and manage their condition when symptoms worsen

Empowering people living with asthma to self-manage their condition can:

  • Improve adherence to medicines among people living with asthma
  • Reduce asthma-related emergency care visits and hospitalization
  • Reduce health care costs
  • Reduce asthma-related absence from school and work
