GINA collaborates with health care professionals and public health officials around the world for the reduction of asthma prevalence, morbidity and mortality. Through resources and publications, such as evidence-based guidelines for asthma management, and events, such as the annual celebration of World Asthma Day, GINA is working on the improvement of the lives of people with asthma in every corner of the globe.
