Assessment of asthma care, self-management and healthcare services access during the Sudanese war: a cross-sectional survey
This study highlights a considerable gap in asthma control during the ongoing war, despite the availability of healthcare services in times of urgent need. Many patients adopted coping strategies such as using whatever medications were available without prescriptions or independently increasing their prescribed doses. Enhancing patient education on proper asthma self-management and improving access to healthcare services, including telemedicine consultations, could play a crucial role in achieving better asthma control.
