A three-day 23rd National Conference of Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology will be held in Coimbatore from February 7.
 

The "Broncocon-2018" conference, to be held under the aegis of Indian Association for Bronchology, will feature a live workshop with the aim of helping the participants to fine tune intervention skills, organisers said. The participants can learn new competencies under the guidance of pioneers in the field of interventional pulmonology from across the globe, Organising President and consultant pulmonologist of Royal Care Hospital Dr. V R Pattabhiraman said.

He said the workshop would be divided into basic and advanced sub groups catering to the learning requirements of about 700 delegates, including faculty from abroad. He claimed that the hospital was among the first in the country to introduce bronchial thermo plasty, a minimally invasive outpatient procedure for adults with severe asthma.
