Abstract
Children in Egypt frequently suffer from asthma, a chronic respiratory condition that has a high morbidity rate and substantial medical costs. This paper summarizes current developments in pediatric asthma therapy in Egypt and focuses on evidence-based methods to enhance clinical outcomes. The assessment places a strong emphasis on the need for creating personalized action plans for asthma patients, adhering to prescribed regimens, and addressing specific problems with solutions relevant to the Egyptian healthcare system. The findings emphasize the need for tailored treatments and locally relevant research to address the unique challenges faced by the Egyptian community. Notable findings indicate that combining pharmacological treatments with educational programs significantly improves outcomes. This evaluation was based on a comprehensive search of the literature, including studies conducted between 2010 and 2023.
