Researchers say millions of children around the world with asthma could benefit from a new study led by Kiwi scientists.
The study which has just been published in the Lancet medical journal, is one of the first of its kind into treatment for children.
Given that we have one of the highest rates of childhood asthma in the world, their main finding, that 1 in 2 inhalers can reduce asthma attacks in kids by 45% is something of a game changer.
Senior author of the report Richard Beasley, Director of the Medical Research Institute of New Zealand, has just come back from presenting the paper in Amsterdam and joins Susie in the studio.
