Asthma is a serious global health problem, affecting approximately 300 million people around the world, and causing around 1,000 deaths per day. Most of these deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries, and most of them are preventable. Asthma interferes with people’s work, education and family life, especially when children have asthma. Asthma is becoming more prevalent in many economically developing countries, and the cost of asthma treatment for healthcare systems, communities and individuals is increasing.

The podcast ‘Asthma for Experts’ which is hosted by GINA (www.ginasthma.org) is intended for primary care doctors and other health care professionals, and also for adult and paediatric general medical specialists in secondary care. The main aim is to increase awareness of asthma and provide expert views on evidence based practice for clinicians. The podcast will be informative for listeners, however please note that the information must not be used or interpreted as medical advice for people with asthma. If you have got asthma, you must talk with your healthcare provider about what is right for you and your asthma, and what is relevant to the health system where you live.
