# IAB's Inclusive Innovative Iternary to spread IP #

OUR MISSION

The goal of the association is to teach Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology in the evaluation and management of pulmonary diseases.

OUR VISION

Promoting Bronchoscopy and Interventional Pulmonology as the state of the art management of pulmonary diseases.
History of IAB
The Indian Association for Bronchology is an interdisciplinary society registered under the Act no. 431 of 1995 ( Societies and Public Trust ) dedicated to bronchoscopy and interventional pulmonology. It was founded in 1995 by 20 eminent bronchoscopists. The society has now grown to a membership of over 1000. Over the past years, the society has been promoting bronchoscopy and interventional pulmonology, as also the state of the art management of pulmonary diseases. Annual conferences have been held in different parts of India. Many experts in Bronchology, both national and International share their expertise in these conferences. Participation from members and office bearers of the World Association for Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonogy, the Asia Pacific Association, and other foreign associations is an important aspect of the proceedings. These conferences included state of the art workshops, the latest developments in interventional techniques, and also various procedural experiences of the faculty from all over the country. At the same time they also train new bronchoscopists in basic bronchology. They provide a forum to learn from both national and International leaders in bronchology, and keep up to date with cutting edge technology. Workshops are periodically held also in various cities, to provide hands on experience and continuing medical education to the participants. The goal of the association is to teach and expand bronchology and interventional pulmonology in the evaluation and management of pulmonary disease.

DR. R. P. MEENAPRESIDENT

Dear Colleagues and Friends,
Greetings of the day

I express my sincere thanks to all esteemed members of Indian Association for Bronchology for giving me an opportunity to serve the association in the capacity of President IAB.

The Indian Association for Bronchology is our country’s premier scientific society that sets the highest standards in academic excellence and clinical research in the fields of Bronchology and interventional Pulmonology. IAB is providing an excellent platform for training of the young Interventional Pulmonologist and imparting the experience of senior stalwart faculties. There are lots of newer technologies recently introduced and many are in pipeline in the field of IP. This will help in early diagnosis of lung disorders with minimal invasive procedures and yield is very high with the help of Artificial Intelligence.

We are certainly proud to be a part of this dynamic association which is certainly a key opinion leader for Indians bronchologists, and I am certain that the knowledge and expertise of our members will contribute to the management of respiratory diseases such as ILD, Lung Ca, Tuberculosis, empyema, emphysema and asthma.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all members of the old governing council of IAB and a warm welcome to the new governing council.

My special thanks and congratulations to Dr Amita Nene and team Silver Broncocon to have organised a grand successful and unforgettable conference. Anticipating your full hearty support and cooperation.

Sincerely yours,
