World Asthma Day is a global initiative to raise awareness of asthma, a chronic respiratory disease affecting millions of people worldwide. Organized annually by the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA), it highlights the importance of effective asthma management, patient education, and equitable access to appropriate diagnosis and treatment.

The GINA theme for World Asthma Day 2026 is: “Access to anti-inflammatory inhalers for everyone with asthma – still an urgent need”.
