Invitation

Dear Colleagues,

Turkish Thoracic Society is hosting the 28th National Congress with international participation, from 23 to 27 April 2025 at Susesi Luxury Resort Hotel, Antalya, Turkey.

Economical, political, cultural and health philosophy changes worldwide, has been the mainstay of the recent decade. This transformation of the world is influenced by technological progress and artificial intelligence, economical pressures, refugees, wars as well as waves of pandemics, global warming and climate crisis. As lung professionals we are aware of the possible influence this change has on lung health; thus, "Change of the World, Future of Breath" is the motto of our 28th Congress. In this age of heightened urgency to protect planetary heath, we invite you not to miss this seminal congress. We will delve into the critical concerns and expectations for our future. The congress will explore the advantages and disadvantages technology brings to our lives discussing what it adds and what it may take away. We will address potential threats and opportunities in our field of expertise and refine a strategy for the necessary developments. Join us to engage with the highest level of scientific knowledge and experience!

We have already started to work for a congress in line with the mission of Turkish Thoracic Society “ “to improve education, research, preventive medicine and patient services for lung health; to influence health policies related to our field for the benefit of society as a health organization”. The scientific program will contribute to improvement in knowledge and experience of our colleagues while guiding them to catch up with the current developments in the field and to find solutions to frequently encountered clinical problems.

We look forward to welcome you, our esteemed colleagues, for productive and enjoyable exchanges and we remind you to mark the dates of the 28th National Congress of Turkish Thoracic Society (with international participation) in your agendas.
