It is an important day for patients, caregivers, medical practitioners, and policymakers, enabling understanding, discussion, and action around this global health issue. Asthma in India is a significant health concern, having a considerable impact on the country's population. According to the World Health Organization, India hosts about 15-20 million asthmatics.
