Kenya intenational scientific lung health conference

About KISLHC

Respiratory diseases such as Asthma, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Pneumonia and Tuberculosis remain major causes of illness and death among Kenyans with available statistics suggesting a rising burden of these diseases possibly as a result of increased urbanization and air pollution.

The International Scientific Lung Health Conference offers a platform for dissemination of the most updated information on the latest developments in research and clinical practice in the field of lung health and respiratory medicine. It provides stakeholders an opportunity to debate on controversial issues, challenges, and solutions; share experiences and to bring their personal contribution to the area.

Conference Specific Objectives

“From Detection to Recovery: Integrated Pathways & Patient-Centered Innovations in Lung Health”

The conference aims to unite stakeholders to accelerate progress toward ending the TB epidemic by 2030 and improving overall lung health.

Reviewing achievements and identifying gaps in management of chronic lung diseases

Promoting the implementation and scaling up of new WHO-recommended tools in lung Health.

Mobilizing political and financial commitment to bridge funding gaps for lung health research, innovation, and care.

Fostering collaboration across different sectors (health, civil society, academia, private sector) and ensuring community engagement.

Addressing health inequities, human rights, and stigma associated with lung diseases.
