About
Severe Asthma advocates and patients around the world and across Saudi Arabia came together for the Severe Asthma Worskhop which is held to build awareness of a condition that affected more than 262 million people across the world in 2019 (according to the World Health Organization).
Asthma is the most common lifelong disease affecting people from childhood to adulthood. It causes wheezing, shortness of breath, coughing, and chest tightness. Its prevalence is increasing worldwide. Even though it is incurable, patients can control symptoms and prevent attacks by avoiding triggers and using medications.
Asthma is a major noncommunicable disease (NCD), affecting both children and adults, and is the most common chronic disease among children. Inflammation and narrowing of the small airways in the lungs cause asthma symptoms, which can be any combination of cough, wheeze, shortness of breath and chest tightness. Avoiding asthma triggers can also help to reduce asthma symptoms.
The Saudi Ministry of health takes it seriously to increase awareness on the Severe Asthma disease and support our people whose lives are affected by this condition.
