This is a chronic (long-term) problem in which the person hears sounds like difficulty in breathing, chest tightness, cough and sometimes whistle. The cause of asthma can be environmental factors, dust, smoke, allergies, or stress. It is a disease that can occur to a person of any age and can affect the quality of life. Although there is no permanent cure for it, it can be controlled effectively.

Importance of World Asthma Day

World Asthma Day, celebrated on the first Tuesday of May every year, is an opportunity to understand the problems of asthma patients and their needs and to increase awareness in the society. The purpose of this day is to inform people about asthma, discuss the measures to improve the lives of the affected people and ensure that people struggling with asthma can get the right treatment. This day is important to change the mentality about asthma around the world and understand its effects.

History of World Asthma Day

Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) started World Asthma Day in 1998. It was first held in Barcelona, ​​Spain, in which 35 countries participated. GINA aims to promote global efforts for the treatment and prevention of asthma. Since then, every year this day is celebrated with a new and important theme. This day inspires asthma patients and their families to support, understand their concerns and take positive steps towards treatment.

The theme of 2025: "Equal Rights, Equal Opportunities"

The theme of this year's World Asthma Day 2025 is "equal rights, equal opportunity". Its main objective is that every person struggling with asthma gets equal health services, treatment, and care. People suffering from asthma can be from any class, caste, or social status in the society. Therefore it is necessary that medical services and treatment for them are equal at every place. Through this theme, Gina wants to convey the message that there should be no discrimination in treatment and care for asthma patients.

Measures to deal with asthma

There is no permanent cure for asthma, but its symptoms can be controlled by proper medical and lifestyle changes. Asthma patients need to adopt the following measures:

• Environment prevention: Cleaning indoors to avoid factors such as dust, smoke, and allergies to increase asthma symptoms.
• Regular intake of medicines: It is very important to take medicines given by the doctor on time, so that the symptoms can be controlled.
