PATS & ReSoK Congress
7-10 June 2023

PROGRAMME

Welcome to the PATS & ReSoK Congress 2023
Dear Colleagues and friends,
I warmly welcome you to the 3rd Biennial Pan African Thoracic Society Congress. It is exciting to meet
everyone face to face again after a long time. Our theme this year, “The African Environment and Lung
Health”, explores the effects of physical and social environment on lung health in the African and global
contexts. Africa remains overburdened with respiratory disease and addressing this requires
multifaceted, multidisciplinary approaches.
The program will feature distinguished international speakers and experts in respiratory health andthoracic surgery and it has been designed to cover topics related to the spectrum of respiratory diseases,
equity of access to medicines, usage of international guidelines and other topics that will help us tojointly explore context-speciﬁc, sustainable solutions to improving lung health. Some workshops toanticipate this year include thoracic ultrasound, pulmonary rehabilitation, air quality monitoring, anddissemination sessions from recent exciting studies. We also have many clinical cases and abstracts
highlighting some of the excellent researches conducted in Africa and beyond.
This conference provides a fantastic opportunity to share knowledge, build connections and contributeto developing capacity and tackling global health challenges. Following the success of the innovative
Congress App introduced at our last conference, this conference will feature upgrades. We encourage
p a r t i c i p a n t s t o a l s o j o i n t h e c o n v e r s a t i o n o n l i n e b y j o i n i n g o u r Fa c e b o o k g r o u p(@panafricanthoracicsociety) and connecting with us on Twitter (@patscommunity).
Hosted in the beautiful coastal city of Mombasa, Kenya, this year's conference promises to be exciting,
and we encourage participants to take this opportunity to enjoy the many tourist attractions the city
offers.
I am most grateful to the planning committee for their contributions to designing and organizing thiseducative and informative conference. It is because of their unwavering commitment to executing thevision of the Pan African Thoracic Society to unite African Thoracic societies, lead advocacy efforts, andshare resources to improve the standards of practice in Africa, that this year's conference is possible. I
am very grateful to our co-hosts, the Respiratory Society of Kenya, who share this vision andcommitment. Sincere thanks also goes to the American Thoracic Society, British Thoracic Society, andEuropean Respiratory Society for their partnership.
I am conﬁdent that this conference will be most enjoyable and look forward to your participation.
Welcome!

Welcome to the PATS & ReSoK Congress 2023
Message from The President of Pan African Thoracic Society
I wish to extend a warm welcome to all delegates and participants to the PATS & RESOK Congress 2023.
This conference, taking place in Mombasa, the Kenyan coastal city that exudes beauty and unparalleledhospitality, brings together African and international scholars, researchers, clinicians, nurses, laboratory
specialists, public health practitioners, lung health advocates and other health care professionals tolearn, disseminate research ﬁndings, share experiences, network and to raise attention on the status of
the lung health in Africa so as to shape the future.
The congress theme “The African Environment and Lung Health” has been carefully chosen to align withidentiﬁed key priorities for strengthening lung health in Africa and indeed globally. These include air
pollution and climate change, as well as social factors such as poverty, overcrowding, and displacement.
We have put together a stimulating programme featuring distinguished speakers exploring past, current,
and future activities to promote lung health and will provide a platform to tackle together our major
respiratory health challenges. The program includes topics on adult and pediatric respiratory health andthoracic surgery. Topics range from clinical care and disease burden, to risk factors, improving researchand strengthening health systems within African low-resource settings. We have also included Skills
building workshops namely thoracic ultrasound, pulmonary rehabilitation, air quality monitoring andother relevant topics.
I trust that delegates and participants to the 3rd Biennial Pan African Thoracic & Respiratory Society of
Kenya Congress 2023 will greatly enjoy the conference and take the opportunity to explore and enjoy thenatural pleasures of the Kenyan coast.

President PATS, Nairobi

Welcome to the PATS & ReSoK Congress 2023
Welcome message from ReSoK President
The Respiratory Society of Kenya is greatly honoured and privileged to host the third PATS Conference
and welcomes you all to the historical City of Mombasa which is a cauldron of different cultures andlanguages. Our vision in the Respiratory Society of Kenya is to be the leading reference organization
providing world-class lung health solutions within our borders and beyond. We engage in partnerships
with governmental agencies, international organisations, and Private entities to engage in advocacy,
conducting value-adding research, promoting innovation and education in our communities, and trainingof healthcare providers. We work with and support different entities that seek to primarily enhance lung
health and public health in general. We believe this conference, which is so aptly themed, will contribute inno small way towards our mission. We look forwards to forging closer ties with PATS and other member
Societies towards our shared goals and aspirations, including and not limited to PATS-MECOR,
Respiratory Specialist, and other Allied support training Programs, and initiatives that improve Lung
Health, in general.
The World Health Organization estimates that 99% of the global population inhales air that is polluted
beyond its guidelines, and we in low- and middle-income countries have the highest exposure. A healthy
Environment is central to a healthy society, and as Respiratory care professionals, we, unfortunately, bear
the brunt of diseases that directly result from an unhealthy environment. Poor air quality, pollution ofdifferent elements, and poor hygiene, in general, continue to drive morbidity and mortality in our world,and PATS must pool our collective minds, harness our collective efforts to inﬂuence policy, identify andprovide pertinent training and education programs, dictate research questions and synergise multilateral
resources that all work towards a healthier environment and a healthier society.
Like other coastal communities along the Indian Ocean, Mombasa has a lot to offer in history, culture,and entertainment and we hope that you shall ﬁnd time to sample our eclectic cuisine, beautiful beaches
and a lot more that Kenya has to offer.
Karibunisana!
