There is much discussion about effective public policies that allow the proper treatment of asthma, providing care that is comprehensive and centered on asthma patients within their social context. Educating health professionals and asthma patients provides better recognition of symptoms and the triggers of asthma exacerbations, as well as disseminating strategies for avoiding such triggers, thereby ensuring better treatment and quality of life for asthma patients. Asthma imposes an ever-increasing burden on society, in terms of impaired quality of life, morbidity, and health care costs, making this a very important discussion in the field of public policy.
关于有效的公共政策存在很多讨论，这些政策允许对哮喘进行适当的治疗，为哮喘患者提供全面的、以其社会环境为中心的护理。对卫生专业人员和哮喘患者进行教育，可以更好地识别哮喘症状和加重的诱因，并传播避免这些诱因的策略，从而确保哮喘患者得到更好的治疗和生活质量。哮喘对社会造成的负担越来越大，影响了生活质量、发病率和医疗保健成本，这使得在公共政策领域进行这一讨论非常重要。
