Dr. D.J. Christopher President

I am writing to you at an unprecedented time in the history of mankind. The pandemic has changed our lives in unimaginable ways and is poised to leave its imprint on our future. Such situations demand a willingness to change and adapt to negotiate the crisis or else, we run the risk of diminishing to insignificance.

Our society endeavored rise up to the occasion. Sensing the need for knowledge dissemination to physicians within and outside our society, we were among the first to start CoVid-19 webinar series. Programs in other topics also followed. Needless to say our small effort must have helped medical fraternity in updating their knowledge and skill to serve patients suffering from Corona – 19 and also other diseases.

ICS’s objectives include up gradation of not just the doctors, but also the respiratory therapists, nurses and the team of healthcare personnel who care for patients with respiratory disease. Through all these means, it is hoped that the patients who put their trust in us and seek us with great hope, will receive the best possible service.

Education of the public is also an important goal of the Indian Chest Society. With your encouragement ( more than 132 thousand strikes after its inception), for the last five & half years our society is hosting a website ‘ ICS Public Forum’ www.icslungforum.org aimed to increase awareness about respiratory diseases amongst general public in Hindi & English. Please visit it and send your valuable suggestion to Editor

Keep well and be safe!
