TL;DR: It is confirmed that children with asthma in Uganda generally have inadequate asthma control, which is attributable to poor asthma management, and could be improved through re-training of medical workers and patient education, and by increasing availability and affordability of essential asthma medications.
Journal ArticleDOI
