Today is #WorldAsthmaDay 🫁
Asthma is common. Asthma is manageable. But in Uganda, too many go without diagnosis or the right inhaler.
If you wheeze, cough at night, or feel breathless — see a health worker. Don't normalize it.
Access to anti-inflammatory inhalers should not AsthmaDay #Asthma #BreatheBetter #ActonNCDs
