Tuesday, November 12, 2019

     According to NCBI, The atmospheric pollen pollution in Quezon City is heavy in November, December and January; in Los Banos during January, February, March, April, June and November; and in Baguio City during February, March, April and May. So yeah, asthma season is here that's why it is important to arm ourselves with factual knowledge that will help individuals who are suffering from this condition in which your airways narrow and swell and produce extra mucus. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath. For many asthma sufferers, attacks can be debilitating and even potentially fatal.

     Asia’s No. 1 drugstore Watsons Philippines has partnered with the Philippine Pharmacists Association (PPhA) and the Philippine College of Chest Physicians (PCCP) to empower and improve its pharmacists’ competencies to be able to serve its customers’ health needs better.

     As part of the partnership, Watsons conducted the Asthma Educator Program for its pharmacists which is a certificate course on delivering patient education to asthmatic patients. The pilot batch of selected pharmacists from different Watsons branches nationwide went through the three-day intensive training facilitated by experts from PPhA and PCCP last October 28 to 30, 2019. 

     "The Asthma Educator Program aims to provide Watsons pharmacists with basic knowledge, attitudes, and skills on asthma diagnosis and treatment. The program will also help them better educate Watsons customers who are asthmatic patients as well," added Chiong.Asthma is a condition in which your airways narrow and swells and produce extra mucus. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath. For many asthma sufferers, attacks can be debilitating and even potentially fatal. 

     Watsons, whose goal is to make people look good and feel great, wants to help asthma patients achieve better asthma control and improved quality of life through this program.
