On this World Asthma Day, May 5, 2026, the Pan African Thoracic Society reaffirms our commitment to tackling asthma's growing burden across our continent. Asthma affects millions in Africa, straining healthcare systems and lives. However, with unified action, we can change this trajectory.
We highlight the statement from the Forum of International Respiratory Societies (FIRS), which urges global collaboration to improve asthma care, access to inhalers, and education. Let's rally behind its key calls: equitable diagnostics, affordable therapies, and community empowerment.
