Welcome Note
Dear Doctors,
It gives us immense pleasure to invite you all for our two day event “ Pleura Summit 2022”. This is a unique CME and workshop where the entire focus is on various pleural diseases and their management strategies. This is the first time in India that an exclusive event focusing on pleura is being organized.
Pleural diseases are very common in our country. Timely diagnosis and management are paramount to improving patient outcomes. Several pleural procedures such as thoracoscopy, Fibrinolysis, Pleurocentesis and Pleurodesis, are commonly performed and hence it is very important for upcoming pulmonologist to have an in depth understanding of these procedures.
In this two day summit, eminent international faculty and experts from across the country will share their knowledge and experience. The event would be divided into various sessions and would include didactic lectures, how i do it sessions, interactive case discussions, live cases and hands-on workstations.
We request all to utilize this opportunity, to gain from this update on pleura.
