02 May - Health - Tomorrow is the World Asthma Day
In today’s show, we heard from Professor Rajen Naidoo – From the National Asthma Education Programme. We were talking about Asthma. Asthma is one of the most common chronic diseases in the world, affecting more than 300 million people world-wide. Asthma is characterized by symptoms such as breathlessness, wheezing, chest tightness and coughing. However, asthma experts do know that with proper treatment most asthma patients can achieve good control of their disease. Tomorrow is the World Asthma Day and the theme is “You Can Control Your Asthma”. In South Africa, the National Asthma Education Campaign collaborates with an international body and is tasked with the responsibility to disseminate globally accepted asthma treatment guidelines and implement asthma related patient education.
