Dear Friends,

Welcome to “Club Excel”. We are pleased to introduce this website of Club Excel, designed to provide information on latest asthma related developments in the treatment and management of Asthma. We hope you will find this site both helpful and informative.

Club Excel is formed to facilitate interaction of asthma patients and people, who are self driven, motivated and prejudice free. They will think and work on different aspects of better asthma management in a patient’s everyday life. The vision of club excel is to achieve a “Better quality of life through better asthma management”.

It is a relief to finally know what the problem is. Fear is an initial problem. When Patients are told they have asthma, they are instructed about what to do clinically, but they are not given any reassurance or emotional assistance.

Following diagnosis of asthma, patients’ lives become worse than they have expected. There is emotional, physical and physiological impact.

Emotional aspect: embarrassment, inferiority complex, relationship strains, sadness, anger and frustration.

Generally, patients in Bangladesh don’t know much about asthma. There is a need to educate patients about how to manage their asthma with advanced information. Latest messages/communication are not reaching patients or even doctors.
