Respiratory morbidity is one of the most common reasons for consulting a general practitioner in paediatric care.
About 10% of consultations are for asthma, with the other main respiratory diseases being bronchiolitis, acute bronchitis and respiratory infections.
This year's Congress draws attention to this area, offering a wide variety of educational and scientific opportunities for anyone interested in this field.
