The report suggests that asthma rates in developing countries increase as they become more westernized. It estimates that there may be an additional one hundred million people with asthma by the year twenty twenty-five.
VOICE TWO:
While asthma cannot be cured, it can be successfully controlled. This year, GINA's World Asthma Day campaign was called "You Can Control Your Asthma." The organization launched the campaign in two thousand seven. Its aim is to show that a large majority of asthma patients can control the disease with correct treatment.
GINA says several simple steps can help people control their asthma. People should take their asthma medicines as directed by their doctor.
Most people need two kinds of medicines. One is a quick-acting “rescue” medicine taken when needed to stop the signs of asthma. The other is a controller medicine taken every day to prevent these symptoms.
People should know the causes of their asthma symptoms and try to avoid these triggers. For example, seek to avoid animal hair, dust, pollen from trees and flowers or cigarette smoke. Some people may need to take medicines before they work hard or exercise.
VOICE ONE:
Patients should work with their doctors to control the disease. They should go to the doctor for medical examinations even if they are feeling fine. They should make sure they understand how and when to take their medicines. They also should act quickly to treat asthma attacks and know when to seek medical help.
