Guáimaro, April 8 — Improving the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and control of allergic diseases, whose high prevalence and costs make them a significant health problem, is a working objective of the health authorities of this district.
Professionals in the municipality aim to work from their specialty in a person-, family-, and community-centered model, starting from the Primary Health Care (PHC) system itself.
Guáimaro doctors are expanding scientific research on asthma, allergies in the elderly, adverse drug reactions, and pharmacological advances for treating these diseases.
According to experts, an allergy is an unusual response by the immune system to harmless substances that can enter the body through inhalation, ingestion, or contact with the skin.
Data from the World Health Organization estimates that by 2050, approximately half of the world's population will suffer from at least some allergic disorder.
