The ISAAC Story in Asturias
In Asturias, ISAAC Phase III was developed by an enthusiastic group of primary health care professionals which are particularly interested in asthma and prevalent respiratory and allergy diseases during infancy. In this task, the ISAAC Phase III Asturias Team had the support and funding of the Public Health Service of the Autonomous Region of Asturias as well as the counseling and collaboration of ISAAC Spain Coordinator Professor Luis García-Marcos. Organized as a workgroup, the participants of this effort contributed, with other professionals, in many initiatives related to asthma and allergy care, the most important being the elaboration and implementation of Asthma Guidelines and the Strategic Plan for Asthma Management in the Community.
