Today, May 6, marks World Asthma Day, a date aimed at raising awareness about this chronic disease that affects millions of people worldwide. Established in 1998 by the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) and the World Health Organization (WHO), this day seeks to promote effective global strategies for asthma control.

Asthma, one of the main non-communicable diseases, affects both children and adults alike. It is the most common chronic illness in children. Its symptoms—which include coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness—result from inflammation and narrowing of the small airways in the lungs.

In the care of asthmatic patients, Allergology specialists play a vital role. Allergology, a medical specialty focused on the study and treatment of allergic diseases, is essential for managing asthma and related conditions.

If you want to join a team of professionals dedicated to combating asthma and improving the lives of those affected, we invite you to consider specialized training in this field. In Cuba, a postgraduate program in Allergology stands out for its comprehensive and hands-on approach.

This three-year program combines a modular curriculum with in-service learning. Participants will have the opportunity to fully dedicate themselves to their training, working within healthcare services and integrating their work with academic, research, and administrative components.

Don't miss the chance to make a difference in the lives of those who suffer from asthma. Join the fight against this disease and become a specialist in Allergology. Enroll today!
