The aim of the initiative is to help improve the respiratory health of the communities and promote key message of asthma management.
Jamie Murphy from the Sligo Traveller Support Group is encouraging as many people as possible to avail of the service, as rates of people living with asthma and other respiratory illnesses are higher in the Traveller community than the general population.
