The health of Maori and Pasifika asthma patients can be significantly improved by a simplified treatment, a study has found.
Illness and death from asthma is alarmingly high among the group, but research shows adopting a '2 in 1' inhaler approach can reduce the risk of severe attacks by about one third.
Dr Matire Harwood is the study's co-author and spoke to Māni Dunlop.
