Highlights of WCA 2014 Mexico City

INTERASMA in the XXI Century
INTERASMA will celebrate its 60th Anniversary during WCA 2014 in Mexico City. INTERASMA is an evolving organization and it is ready to cope with new challenges in terms of clinical practice, education, communication, and research in the field of asthma. This process started in Montecarlo, in the principality of Monaco, during WCA 2008 chaired by G. Walter Canonica and Carlos E. Baena-Cagnani and it has continued through the years, with WCA 2010 in Athens led by Ronald Dahl and the remarkable WCA 2012 in Quebec chaired by Louis-Philippe Boulet.
The new website, the new INTERASMA journal “Asthma Research and Practice”, the manifestos in collaboration with WAO, Ga2len, SLaai, etc. and other initiatives are also part of this revitalizing process.
We have wonderful reasons to celebrate INTERASMA 60th anniversary. INTERASMA would also like to thank the founders and those predecessors that have kept the Global Asthma Association alive.
Join us in this celebration!
