The International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood [ISAAC] has come with another remarkable study in the field of asthma. Asserting the need of spreading the awareness regarding asthma, the Asthma Foundation's Chief Executive, Jane Patterson reportedly briefed about negative impact on school children of contracting asthma, at the very beginning of going to school.

Jane has reportedly expressed grave concern over the negative impacts of asthma on the education scenario of children of New Zealand, as this disease keeps them away from attending schools.

As per the statistics, asthma has been reported as the major cause of increasing hospital admissions among children and young people in New Zealand.

The University of Auckland is reportedly holding an ISAAC symposium, which has been working with a mission of developing environmental measures and disease monitoring to reduce the burden of asthma rhinitis and eczema.

Professor Innes Asher, ISAAC Chair and Head of Pediatrics at the University commended the study for its global scope, and range of environmental factors being studied, which acts as a stimulus to probe further about this treatment.

Lastly, Jane reportedly acknowledged the efforts of his team for this commending research work and assured that the symposium would be attended by their medical director and education service manger.
