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 countryโ€™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,

Dr. R P Meena
