The World Allergy Organization (WAO) marks World Allergy Week from 7th to 13th April, 2014 to address the topic of “Anaphylaxis – When Allergies Can Be Severe and Fatal,” and are calling for education, preparation, and resources for the treatment and prevention of anaphylaxis as the spring allergy season comes. Currently 95 national member societies have joined the World Allergy Week. To increase awareness of anaphylaxis during World Allergy Week 2014, many of the national WAO Member Societies will organize local events and programs around anaphylaxis that specifically affect their communities.

This is the third year that Mongolia marks the World Allergy Week. During the World Allergy Week information about how to be aware of possible symptoms will be provided by media and special training for medical specialists on how to help people to prevent anaphylaxis and how to provide emergency assistance will be given.
