A group of 50 asthmatics from the city of Visakhapatnam participated in a mini-walkathon to raise awareness on the increased need of adherence to inhalers in monsoons due to increased risk of getting asthma attacks in the season. The participants walked with umbrellas to spread the message “Rains and asthma attacks are unpredictable… Carry your inhaler like your umbrella everyday”
We would like to thank Dr. T. Anantha Lakshmi, Chest Physician, Care Hospital in who addressed a press conference and provided guidelines to keep asthma at bay during monsoons.
