I think it will be a good opportunity for us to be the host for the congress in the future.inviting some of these professors to have speech for us will help us to use their experience in the field . having cooperation with investigators in these countries may help us to find better solutions for our common problems in these countries. |

Please give a briefing of your own observations and outcomes of the congress: : |
I found out that we have some common problems with these countries so we can cooperate with each other to reach the best way to overcome these problems .some of our colleagues have more liberal access to new developements in this field especially in interventional pulmonology which i am very interested in.there were good sessions with experts from UK ,USA,France who had very interesting speeches in different subjects especially about more common diseases like asthma and copd and shared the results of their recent investigations .More interesting to me was the opportunity to have a practical experience with the recent advanced technologies that unfortunately we do not have access to them even in our tertiary care centers of our university. for example Ebus is a method that is very helpful for staging lung cancer and about 6 years ago when I went to Germany I got familiar with this method which can be very helpful in the diagnosis and staging lung cancer and can save patients from more invasive methods like open lung surgery. but it was interesting to me that many of the countries in the region had papers about these new interventions. |
