Asthma Spotlight
Asthma is a very common disease of the lungs affecting over 300 million people worldwide, and attacks can flare up without warning. At least 1000 people die from asthma every day. Most asthma attacks and asthma deaths can be prevented. I'm Dr Mark L Levy family doctor with special interest in asthma. This weekly podcast aims to provide information on asthma to help asthma sufferers and those in their support network as well as health care providers. The information aims to facilitate understanding of the disease, discuss self-management on asthma, how to monitor and strive to control it, and to learn how to recognise and act on danger signals to prevent asthma attacks.
