Global burden of asthma report
The MRINZ was commissioned by the United States National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute and World Health Organisation’s Global Initiative for Asthma Programme, to research and draft the Global Burden of Asthma Report. This detailed report reviews the global burden of asthma in terms of prevalence, morbidity, mortality and economic cost. It provides an evidence-based summary of the burden of asthma, details the barriers to improving asthma outcomes and makes recommendations regarding public health and regulatory initiatives. It has become a major reference and advocacy document worldwide.
