The Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) works with health care professionals and public health officials around the world to reduce asthma prevalence, morbidity, and mortality. Through resources such as evidence-based strategies for asthma management, projects such as the Asthma Control Challenge to reduce hospitalizations, and events such as the annual celebration of World Asthma Day, GINA is working to improve the lives of people with asthma in every corner of the globe.

 

Participate in the GINA Hospitalization Survey!

The GINA Hospitalization Survey is an online data collection system that will help provide a baseline and benchmark for progress in reducing hospitalizations due to asthma.

Individual clinicians, institutions, regions, or countries can participate by entering their own data.

The survey is part of the GINA Asthma Control Challenge, a campaign to reduce asthma hospitalizations by 50% over 5 years.
