Chapter I - The Problem and its Background

Background of the Study

Every individual varies. Each respires from different walks of life. Towards a particular something all minds are set. Distinct destinations. Distinct concerns. But what is such concern that proclaims itself as top?

Health.

Each and every single someone aims to have the best of their years. But as individuals go on from one genre to another, illness and all of its sorts seem to progress and cope with how fast people move along. Health is wealth. A fact which turns to become more literal these days. In a world where everything is at a given price, health is indeed highly priced.

The researchers aim to focus on one common but very crucial health wise concern, a chronic lung disorder marked by recurring episodes of airway obstruction: Asthma. One neglected sickness mostly of the rural population as it requires costly medicines and apparatus, or worst such treatments are unavailable.

Statement of the Problem

Recent surveys show that asthma is causing unnecessary suffering. One person dies every hour from an asthma attack. A survey released on World Asthma Day
(May 2nd 2006) reveals that people see asthma as frightening, debilitating, and uncontrollable.

No matter what their symptoms many of the 300 million asthma sufferers in the world are desperate for relief from asthma.

There is a way to take charge of asthma.One effective method of which is through the help of Nebulizers (electrically powered machine that turns liquid medication into a mist so that it can be breathed directly into the lungs through a face mask or mouthpiece).
