Description: Professor Claudia Gray, a pediatrician, allergist and executive committee member of Allergy Society of South Africa (ALLSA), chats to Leigh-Anne Williams about World Allergy Week. She shares more about this annual global event that raises awareness around allergies and their potentially serious health implication as well as the theme for 2022, which is on allergic asthma. It aims to educate people about the connection between allergic airway diseases and asthma - a potentially life-threatening affliction that affects millions in South Africa (which also has one of the highest asthma death rates in the world).Â
