An Overview of Asthma Care with Professor Stephen Lane

Ireland has one of the highest rates of asthma prevalence in the world. It is estimated that approximately 500,000 people in Ireland have a degree of asthma, though usually mild. It is the most common chronic respiratory disease in adults.

Asthma may affect a person all their lives, but it can be managed so effectively that a person has a high quality of life and health. However, many people with asthma live and work with avoidable asthma illness, due to having uncontrolled disease.
