Doha, Qatar: Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) marked World Asthma Day by shining the spotlight on innovative treatment options that are revolutionizing asthma care for residents in Qatar.

With advanced biologic therapies, smart inhalers, a health app, plus a comprehensive support plan that includes educational and self-management programs, HMC is transforming how asthma is managed for over 20,000 patients annually.

Head of Pulmonology Department at HMC Dr. Hisham Abdul Aleem Abdul Sattar said: "Asthma can significantly impact a person's daily activities and quality of life if not properly managed, but thanks to cutting-edge technology and personalized care plans, what was once a condition that significantly limited patients' lives, can now be effectively controlled and managed."

HMC's patient-centered approach begins with comprehensive diagnostic assessments, utilizing advanced testing techniques to determine the precise type and severity of each patient's asthma. This targeted diagnosis enables the clinical team to develop individualized treatment plans.

"One size does not fit all when it comes to asthma management," explains Dr. Abdul Sattar. "For some patients, standard inhalers provide sufficient control, while others benefit from newer biologic therapies that target specific pathways in the immune system."
