Ladies and Gentlemen, Distinguished Guests, Esteemed Colleagues, and Friends,
It is with great pleasure and my profound honor to welcome you all to the Joseph Aluoch Lung Health Conference 2024. On behalf of the organizing committee, I would like to extend a warm and heartfelt welcome to each of you. We are thrilled to gather together experts, practitioners, researchers, and lung health advocates united by our shared commitment to advancing lung health.

Our theme this year is “Redefining Lung Health,” a timely and critical topic that underscores the evolving nature of our understanding and approach to respiratory care. The landscape of lung health is rapidly changing, and it is imperative that we continually adapt and innovate to meet new challenges and seize emerging opportunities.Redefining Lung Health is premised on key factors including; emerging respiratory diseases such as COVID-19, environmental changes occasioned by air pollution and climate change, advances in technology all on the backdrop of inequalities in lung health access and the need to provide patient centered care.

Over the course of this Conference we will explore these themes through a diverse range of sessions, including panel discussions, workshops, and more importantly a keynote address from our distinguished guest Dr Jospeh Aluoch. Dr Joseph Aluoch has been serving in the field of Lung Health for over half a decade now, is considered the ‘father of TB in Kenya’ and we truly honor his many contributions in this field.

Let us embrace the opportunities to learn from one another, challenge our assumptions, and forge new pathways for improving lung health. Let us redefine what is possible and work together towards a future where lung health is no longer a privilege but a universal right.
I look forward to a memorable and impactful experience.

Karibuni Sana
