26th Congress of the APSR

The APSR in collaboration with the UNION APR, WHO SEARO and WHO WPRO invites you to submit an Expression Of Interest (EOI) to attend the inaugural BIG 5 Lung Diseases Workshop organized by APSR, Union APR, WHO SEARO and WHO WPRO.

What is the Workshop about?

• The workshop will address the primary care models for optimal management of the major "Big 5" lung diseases (Asthma, COPD, Lung Cancer, Tuberculosis and infections) to share useful models of care, harnessing the benefits of collaboration between APSR, UNION APR, WHO SEARO and WHO WPRO. The joint workshop will be able to contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by bringing together the clinical expertise of our members and others who have implemented effective best practice models of primary care for the Big 5 lung diseases. There will be selected presentations and breakout group discussions. We will develop a Report and Toolkit for broad dissemination and implementation beyond the Workshop.
