    Rationale:

However, system barriers continue to burden the health care system thereby impacting on the quality of care received by patients.

    The 2013 World Asthma Day Symposium will examine current national and international efforts towards achieving coordinated, integrated and cost-effective care in order to support people with asthma.

    “Changing the asthma experience: delivering collaborative, coordinated care in an evolving health care system”

    Date:

    Wednesday, 1st May 2013
