Asthma is a respiratory illness affecting many people, throughout their lives, & yet it is one in which sufferers have to pay for their prescriptions, affecting people across all demographics, including disadvantaged communities with poor or compromised air quality.

In this time of Covid-19, the likely economic & social impacts upon many sectors of our communities, it's more important than ever that people who need these life saving medicines are able to receive them without worrying about cost.
