Experts say that every year, more than 70 million people die prematurely due to air pollution; most of these lives can be saved by making the environment clean.

This is why Chest Con 2020 is being launched with plantation to fulfill the moral and social responsibility of improving the environment. Chest diseases can be reduced by controlling urban, industrial, maritime and gross air pollution.

President PCS said that society organizes an annual international conference on chest diseases, which is being held in the last week of March this year, as Chest Con 2020. PSC has started a campaign ‘healthy lungs for a healthy life’ ahead of the conference, he said, adding that the Chest Con will feature dermatologists, surgeons, and 15 foreign experts addressing the scientific sessions of the meeting.
