Importance of 2nd may

The First World Asthma Day Was observed in 1998 by the Global Initiative for Asthma to raise awareness about the disease. World Asthma Day is celebrated on the first Tuesday of May every year. This year 2023 World Asthma Day is being celebrated on 2nd May. The reason the month of May has been chosen to celebrate this day is because asthma symptoms are at their worst this time of year. 

In addition, the United Nations started celebrating World Tuna Day on May 2 to raise awareness about the importance of tuna fish. The day was observed for the first time in 2017. In December 2016, the United Nations General Assembly voted in favor of observing the day. Tuna is a fish that is economically important to both developed and developing countries.
