A.C.T. on Asthma
Did you know that 1 in 2 people living with asthma in Canada have uncontrolled asthma, putting their health at risk and potentially impacting their daily lives?
We’re calling on the 4.7 million people living with asthma in Canada to take action and A.C.T. on Asthma:
✅ A – Assess your asthma with our new Asthma Self-Check
✅ C – Claim your free Asthma Control Pack
✅ T – Talk to your doctor about managing your asthma effectively
Living with Asthma?
Live with it controlled.
Over 2 million people in Canada live with uncontrolled asthma. That’s a lot of people living with a roommate who hogs the air supply and throws wheezing fits at the
worst times.
Unlike a good roommate, asthma isn’t just annoying, it can be dangerous.
If you’re dealing with breathlessness, wheezing, coughing, or fatigue, don’t ignore it. A.C.T. on asthma now.
