41st Union World Conference on Lung Health, 11-15 November 2010, Berlin

Organised by the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease (The Union), this conference is the largest annual lung health event focusing on the issues as they affect low- and middle- income populations.

The theme this year was “TB, HIV and Lung Health: From Research and Innovation to Solutions” pointing to the need for new drugs and vaccines, but also for the resources and policies required to put these new tools to use to help some of the poorest citizens, where demand and need is the greatest.

Approximately 2500 delegates attended from over 100 countries.

An impressive programme of webcasts from the meeting ensure that most of the oral sessions can now be viewed online, including slide presentations.
