National Asthma Week is held in the first week of September each year. In 2011, the theme is 'You can help someone with asthma'. One in 10 people in Australia have asthma, so it’s important not only that they know what to do in an emergency, but also that the people around them are prepared.
The state Asthma Foundations urge you to take action this week - increase your understanding of asthma and learn exactly what to do.
Visit the myDr Asthma Centre for lots of information on asthma, what causes asthma attacks and how to treat and prevent them.
