This Asthma Week (September 1-7) we’re asking parents to help flip the script and Attack Asthma for their child. It’s time we Attack Asthma before the symptoms start! 🙌

Asthma is one of the leading causes of hospitalisations for children. New research shows that while most parents feel like they are confident in managing their child’s asthma, nearly two-thirds live in constant fear of an asthma attack 😔
