Union Health Minister JP Nadda said that early diagnosis and proper treatment are crucial to managing asthma. The Union Minister, in a social media post, said that World Asthma Day serves as a crucial platform to raise awareness about asthma and enhance care for those living with this chronic condition. The Ministers also urged policymakers, healthcare professionals, and communities to work collectively towards reducing asthma-related complications and promoting respiratory health in the country.

Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare Anupriya Patel urged people not to ignore symptoms of the respiratory condition and to prevent common asthma triggers. He said improvement in lifestyle, pollution control, and awareness are the best ways to prevent this disease. World Asthma Day is observed on the first Tuesday in May to spread awareness about the common and chronic lung disease that makes it difficult to breathe.
