Asthma management globally faces challenges, especially in low-income countries due to limited access to inhaled corticosteroids. Adapting international guidelines and fostering collaboration are key to improving asthma control worldwide.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Global Health
  • Pharmacotherapy

Background:

  • Asthma prevalence is rising globally, necessitating effective management strategies.
  • Inhaled corticosteroids are the cornerstone of asthma control.
  • International guidelines like the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) aim to standardize care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review challenges and initiatives in asthma management, particularly in resource-limited settings.
  • To highlight barriers to effective asthma treatment in developing countries.
  • To explore strategies for adapting global guidelines to local contexts.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of asthma management strategies and guideline implementation.
  • Analysis of factors affecting asthma control in diverse economic settings.
