At the very outset, we salute the heroic martyrs and activists of the July August public uprising, whose enormous sacrifices have enabled us to remove the shackles of autocracy. It was a momentous turning point in our history, which has grasped the admiration of the whole nation and set us on the right track to introduce reforms under the dynamic leadership of Nobel Laureate Prof.

Mohammad Yunus. We envisage a society free of discrimination, oppression and corruption in order to achieve our unrealized dreams of a truly democratic nation. The health sector of the country has also gained a new momentum.

As professionals, we are eagerly looking forward to discuss the recent advances in pulmonology for promotion of holistic health care. This is imperative in view of the ravaging effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and climate change on lung health which may lead to far reaching deleterious effects on human health. In this context, Bangladesh Lung Foundation is organizing the 8th International Conference on Lung Health- PULMOCON 2025 on 18-21 February, 2025 at the Bangabandhu International Conference Center (BICC), situated in the center of Dhaka, the vibrant capital of Bangladesh.
