The Union World Conference on Lung Health 2022
Organized by: International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease (The Union)

Date: November 8-11 2022
Venue: Virtual（虚拟会议）

Theme: Combating Pandemics: Today & Tomorrow

The Union World Conference on Lung Health is the world’s largest gathering of clinicians and public health workers, health programme managers, policymakers, researchers and advocates working to end the suffering caused by lung disease, with a focus specifically on the challenges faced by low-and lower-middle income populations. Of the 10 million people who die each year from lung diseases, some 80 percent live in these resource-limited settings. Organising international conferences on TB and related subjects has been a core activity of The Union since its founding in 1920.

The Union World Conference on Lung Health 2022 will be held virtually from November 8-11 under the theme ‘Combating Pandemics: Today & Tomorrow’.

Whether it is COVID-19 or Tuberculosis (TB), lung health pandemics continue to create havoc the world over, exposing inequalities while also revealing how interconnected we all truly are. As we work towards averting future pandemics, we must not forget existing pandemics like TB and ensure we serve those who are most vulnerable.

We must work together towards elimination of all lung health pandemics and this can be achieved only if we address the issues of equity and inclusion for a healthier, safer world.
