About Asthma Malaysia
300 million people worldwide suffer with asthma. It is a leading cause of hospital admissions and loss of work and school hours in Malaysia. Most people suffering with asthma feel limited by this chronic, incurable illness.
However, asthma can be well controlled and with appropriate medical care almost everyone with asthma can live a normal life. Asthma Malaysia aims to be a reliable and credible online asthma resource and guide for patients and healthcare workers alike.
Vision
To be Malaysia’s leading portal for asthma with a view to creating more informed and empowered patients. We aim to ensure that asthma care in Malaysia is equal to the best in the world with a view to reducing the suffering and deaths associated with it.
We intend to evolve into an organization that will proactively engage in research and promotional campaigns to increase awareness of asthma in Malaysia.
Mission
- To serve as a credible resource on asthma
- To raise awareness of best standards of care
- To empower patients in the management of their asthma
