Abstract

At present asthma-rooms system is developed in regional polyclinics mainly and it is intended for patients’ education in remission.

According to that, education of patients living in provinces becomes crucial.

Simultaneously asthma-room of regional in-patient department becomes the methodic centre for doctors’ education and for the control of quality of asthmatic patients’ treatment, for adoption of new diagnostic and treatment technologies.
