Weâre back for a very, very, VERY IMPORTANT PSA. If you didnât already know it, both hosts, Mingyue and Minghan grew up with asthma - which is frankly why we said YES to understanding more about asthma management with Dr Helmy, a consultant lung specialist. According to Asthma Malaysia, approximately 2 million people in Malaysia suffer from asthma where 90% of them are uncontrolled cases. It doesnât matter if youâre diagnosed with asthma or not, itâs more than important to be aware about the correct asthma management methods!
