The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA) has welcomed the continuation of funding for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) National Asthma Control Program. This program, which plays a key role in managing and preventing asthma, recently received support from Congress, ensuring its operations will continue.
AAFA is now calling on lawmakers to include funding for the program in the 2027 federal budget to maintain and expand its efforts in reducing asthma-related health issues across the country.
**Why this matters**
The National Asthma Control Program provides essential resources for asthma surveillance, education, and prevention initiatives. Continued funding helps improve health outcomes for millions of Americans living with asthma, reducing hospital visits and enhancing quality of life. Without sustained support, progress in asthma management could be at risk.
