The Asthma Society of Ireland’s mission is to stop asthma deaths in Ireland. We are the voice of the 380,000 people with asthma in Ireland, and our work radically transforms their quality of life. We fight asthma with every breath. Our vision is that everyone with asthma in Ireland lives a full life, symptom-free.
We commit to bringing an end to asthma deaths in Ireland by 2030, with a reduction by half by 2025 – our dedication to this overarching outcome means:
- Every person or child with asthma or their carer in Ireland will need to have an Asthma Action Plan to better manage their asthma, through our services and campaigns and through interventions by empowered healthcare professionals.
- The economic burden of asthma will need to be lifted, giving people with asthma better access to healthcare, health outcomes and improving the quality of their lives.
- Patients with severe asthma will need to have equal access to medications and expert care across Ireland.
