Asthma is a chronic health condition affecting two in five children. It is the major cause of childhood admission to hospital. While an average of two people dies in Victoria each week from asthma, many of these deaths are preventable. Community education and correct management will assist to minimise the impact.

Dental Policy - Oral Health
