Today, as we mark #WorldAsthmaDay amidst Air Quality Awareness Week, let's recognize the link between air quality & respiratory health. Let's advocate for cleaner air to reduce asthma triggers & improve the well-being of those affected. Together, we can create a healthier future.

🌬️ It's Air Quality Awareness Week, & this year's theme is, “Knowing Your Air”.
At CIMH, we're raising awareness about the importance of clean air in the Caribbean! 🏝️

Let's work together to promote cleaner air for all!

DYK the Earth is hotter today than it has been in at least 1,000 years? Here in the Caribbean we've definitely been feeling the heat as rising temperatures affect everything from agriculture to our health. Let's act now to mitigate these effects & protect our region.
