Description

Asthma in Bermuda schools is a growing concern—with 29 students hospitalized last year and one in five reporting attacks. The government’s rolling out the Bermuda Student Asthma Registry to help track and support kids with asthma, urging parents to update info yearly. A collaborative effort involving health, education, hospitals, and Open Airways aims to create safer, more inclusive school environments. Shocking stats reveal 57% of affected students missed school, and 43% misused or lacked inhaler spacers—critical for effective treatment. Despite most students thinking their asthma was under control, only 39% actually had it well-managed, highlighting the registry’s vital role in getting kids the care they need to thrive.
