Romanian health professionals are preparing for the third edition of the National Conference “Protection of the Lung Throughout Life,” scheduled to take place from May 14 to 16, 2026, at Hotel Mara in Sinaia. The event is jointly organized by the Romanian Society of Pneumology (SRP) and the Bucharest-Ilfov Association of Family Physicians (AMFB), continuing a tradition of multidisciplinary dialogue focused on respiratory health across all age groups.
According to official announcements from the organizing bodies, the conference targets physicians from all specialties with an interest in lung health, including family medicine, pneumology, internal medicine, pediatrics, pediatric pneumology, allergology, cardiology, occupational medicine, physical and rehabilitation medicine, thoracic surgery, epidemiology, medical imaging, public health and healthcare management. The scientific program emphasizes current challenges in respiratory care, with updated topics in prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation.
The conference will feature scientific sessions, symposia, hands-on workshops, and practical training, covering areas such as spirometry, oscillometry, fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FENO) testing, inhaler devices, bronchoscopy in clinical support, innovations in pediatric and adult vaccination, challenges in pulmonary imaging (including radiography, CT, and lung ultrasound), and the management of respiratory emergencies in both children and adults. Additional sessions will address sleep medicine (with pediatric and adult focus), respiratory infections, cystic fibrosis as an ongoing challenge, and lung cancer.
Co-presidents of the event are Prof. Dr. Roxana Maria Nemeș, former president of the Romanian Society of Pneumology, and Dr. Sandra Adalgiza Alexiu, president of the Bucharest-Ilfov Association of Family Physicians. Their leadership reflects the collaborative nature of the initiative, which aims to unite experts across disciplines to promote lung health throughout life.
An accredited medical exhibition will accompany the conference, showcasing specialty books, medical journals, and relevant healthcare resources. Organizers emphasize that the event fosters a community committed to advocating for healthy lungs and a healthy life for all.
Further details regarding registration, participation fees, and the full scientific program are available through the official channels of the Romanian Society of Pneumology and the Bucharest-Ilfov Association of Family Physicians. As of the date of this report, no changes to the scheduled dates or venue have been announced.
The conference represents a continued effort by Romanian medical societies to strengthen interdisciplinary cooperation in addressing respiratory diseases, which remain a significant public health concern globally. By bringing together clinicians, researchers, and policymakers, the event seeks to improve early detection, enhance treatment outcomes, and promote preventive strategies for lung conditions affecting populations across the lifespan.
For updates on the conference program or registration procedures, interested participants are encouraged to consult the official websites of the organizing societies. The next official update regarding the event is expected from the organizers in the weeks leading up to May 2026.
We invite healthcare professionals and medical journalists to share insights, ask questions, and spread awareness about initiatives like this that advance respiratory health through collaboration and evidence-based practice.
