Severe Asthma Units in Spain: Enhancing Patient Care and Research in Severe Asthma
Asthma units in Spain are multidisciplinary hospital-based clinics led by pulmonologists and/or allergists. They are designed to optimize diagnosis, identify and manage comorbidities, and improve asthma control and patients’ quality of life, particularly for those with severe asthma. These units have proven to be clinically effective and economically efficient, representing an innovative model for asthma management.
Accreditation by the Spanish societies of pulmonology and allergology (SEPAR and SEAIC) ensures excellence by establishing quality standards and promoting continuous staff training. However, disparities in resources and availability appear to exist between autonomous communities.
While this model has been successful, it has not yet been widely implemented globally, and its adoption could enhance the management of severe asthma in other countries.
