Abstract

Asthma is a respiratory disease characterized by chronic airway inflammation and is defined by symptoms including shortness of breath, wheeze, chest tightness and cough along with variable limitation in expiratory airflow [1]. Advances in medical therapy have greatly increased the options for treatment for patients with asthma; however it remains one of the most common major non-communicable diseases and has a substantial impact on quality of life. Adequate care of patients suffering from asthma involves the triad of systematic chronic care plans, support for self-management, and appropriate medical therapy [2].
