The Global Asthma Report 2026: country stories shares perspectives from over 30 countries, providing insight into the burden of disease, state of diagnostic and treatment services, access to preventative vaccines and challenges from all WHO regions. Marked increases in asthma prevalence and striking inequities between and within countries stand out.
A key theme running through these stories is the need to address access for affordable care for everyone with asthma, resonating with the theme for World Asthma Day 2026: Access to anti-inflammatory inhalers for everyone with asthma.
