Today we recognize World Asthma Day 2025 with this year’s global theme: “Make Inhaled Treatments Accessible for ALL.”

Asthma affects over 260 million people worldwide and causes more than 450,000 deaths annually, most of which are preventable. Inhaled corticosteroid-containing medications are essential for managing symptoms and preventing severe attacks, yet access to these treatments remains limited in many parts of the world due to high cost or lack of availability.

This year, the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) is calling on healthcare professionals, governments, manufacturers, and policy makers to take urgent action to ensure that all individuals with asthma can access the medications they need to live healthy, full lives.

It’s also important to recognize that not all experiences of asthma or allergies rise to the level of a disability or create barriers in educational or work environments but for some, the symptoms can be severe enough that adjustments or alternatives are necessary. Awareness, flexibility, and equitable access are key to making spaces inclusive and supportive for all.

Together, we can reduce preventable hospitalizations and deaths, and create a world where asthma care is accessible, affordable, and informed by compassion and science.
