ICCPC 2023 Conference Welcome Letter
The ICCPC Conference has been designed to provide an innovative and comprehensive overview of the latest developments and expertise in Pulmonology and Critical Care Medicine, mainly balanced in the areas of pathophysiology, diagnosis, and therapeutic targets.
Many distinguished intensivists, pulmonologists, cardiologists, philosophers, geneticists, nephrologists, scientists, engineers, nurses, physiotherapists … and others have joined the ICCPC faculty and will take part in this Conference. The ICCPC scientific content will be presented in the form of plenary sessions, workshops, and MasterClasses, distributed in thematic sessions organized in an original pattern and intended to produce systematic reviews and research projects.
We would like to express our thanks to all of ICCPC partners for their generous support, and to our dedicated staff, colleagues, and friends for their untiring help, support, and advice in planning and arranging this ICCPC meeting.
We hope that you will enjoy the ICCPC Conference and that interaction will also occur with your colleagues from many different places and specialties and will stimulate a creative exchange of ideas.
We also hope and trust that you will enjoy your visit to the very beautiful and exciting city of Sousse, The “Pearl of the Sahel” on the May 19-20th 2023.
