Children with asthma going without vital medication because their parents can't afford it, new survey finds

"No parent should ever have to worry about how they're going to get their child the drugs they need to breathe, says Dublin football manager Ger Brennan, World Asthma Day ambassador."

"One in 10 children had to go without their medication to control asthma in the past three months because their parents could not afford to buy it."

"Worrying figures show that over the past year, more than one-third of children with asthma have been hospitalised because of the condition."

"One in seven children with asthma had to be admitted to the hospital twice due to their condition."

A recent survey reveals that one in ten children with asthma had to forgo their medication in the past three months due to financial constraints. Over the past year, more than one-third of children with asthma experienced hospitalization related to their condition, with one in seven requiring multiple admissions. These statistics highlight the critical issue of accessibility to asthma medication for families, emphasizing the need for support and solutions to ensure children receive the care they need.
