Overview
Spain ranks slightly above average in the Severe Asthma Index overall, with moderate to strong scores across most categories. Spain reports that its population healthcare service needs are very well met as well as having a high level of drug and treatment access. However, access to biologics in Spain could be improved. Spain has a comparatively low estimated societal cost of severe asthma, but the disease burden could be further addressed through tackling risk factors such as adult obesity and tobacco use.
