Zeven jaar lang richtte het internationale LONGFONDS | Accelerate onderzoeksconsortium ‘A World Without Asthma’ zich, onder leiding van prof.dr. Hermelijn Smits, op mogelijke interventies. Dat leidde tot bijzondere inzichten en resultaten die we delen met het Nederlandse onderzoeksveld, zorgprofessionals en diverse stakeholders en beleidsmakers.
