On May 7th, World Asthma Day is commemorated, a day dedicated to raising awareness about this chronic disease that affects millions of people worldwide. Instituted in 1998 by the Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) and the World Health Organization (WHO), this day seeks to promote measures for effective asthma control globally.

Asthma, one of the leading non-communicable diseases, does not distinguish by age: it affects both children and adults, being the most common chronic disease in the pediatric population. Its symptoms, including coughing, wheezing, difficulty breathing, and chest tightness, result from inflammation and narrowing of the small airways in the lungs.

In the care of asthmatics, Allergology specialists play a crucial role. Allergology, a medical specialty dedicated to the study and treatment of allergic diseases, plays a fundamental role in the management of asthma and other related conditions.

If you wish to join the team of professionals dedicated to combating asthma and improving the quality of life of those who suffer from it, we invite you to consider specialized training in this field. In Cuba, a specialization program in Allergology is offered, which stands out for its comprehensive and practical approach.

With a duration of three years, this program combines a modular curriculum with service learning. Participants will have the opportunity to dedicate themselves full-time to their training, working in health services and linking the work component with academic, research, and administrative aspects.

Do not miss the opportunity 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!
