What does ACAM mean in LABORATORY

The Australian Centre for Asthma Monitoring (ACAM) works to advance the national agenda for asthma management and improve outcomes for people at risk of, living with and managing asthma. ACAM seeks to increase understanding of how best to manage the condition through monitoring, research, collaboration and advocacy.

The mission of ACAM is to provide authoritative evidence-based knowledge about all aspects of asthma in Australia including prevalence, incidence, mortality rates, burden on health services and policy relevance.

Some initiatives undertaken by ACAM include tracking trends in death rates from asthma; assessing regional variations in access to treatment; advocating for greater investment in research into new treatments; developing resources to support better self-management; working with other organisations to improve public awareness about asthma; developing strategies to reduce poverty associated with the condition.
