The prevalence of Severe Asthma in Spain is:

• Children under the age of 12: 2.1% of asthmatics
• Children aged 6 to 14: 8.8%

Approximately one in every four children with severe asthma has difficult-to-control asthma, although one-third of cases are underestimated by doctors. These children tend to have a worse quality of life which in turn affects their parents.

Based on this information, Novartis created a campaign called FINDING GUILLE as an educational tool for doctors and parents of children with asthma, with the goal of helping them recognise some of the common behaviour patterns in children with severe allergic asthma.

Novartis asked Grupo SANED for help in implementing a campaign targeted at specialist physicians.
