Key Facts on Asthma

Unmet Need

Opportunity Risk

One of the major non-communicable diseases 235 million people currently suffer from asthma Common disease among children. Most asthma-related deaths occur in LMIC

Disability adjusted life years

Key Facts on Asthma

Unmet Need

Opportunity Risk

Costs in the United States “The annual direct health care cost of asthma is approximately $50.1 billion; indirect costs

(e.g. lost productivity) add another $5.9 billion, for a total of $56 billion dollars”
