Welcome Message

Dear esteemed guests, colleagues, and friends,

As the Presidents of both the Asian Paediatric Pulmonology Society (APPS) and the Thai Society of Pediatric Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine (TPRC), my team and I are thrilled to have you join us for the APPS-TPRC 2025 congress, taking place from April 2-4, 2025, at the Eastin Grand Hotel Phayathai in Bangkok, Thailand.

Our goal is to share the latest knowledge in pediatric respiratory and critical care medicine, with the hope of improving the respiratory health of our children.

We are excited to announce that Professor Andrew Bush, Professor Anne Chang and Professor Martin Kneyber will be joining us as keynote speakers. Stay tuned for more updates on our lineup of distinguished speakers.

You are invited to take part in the Congress by proposing symposiums and speakers, submitting and presenting research abstracts or case reports on due dates, and participating in our enriching scientific programs. Our aim is to provide a platform for direct interaction with experts, where you can exchange ideas, share experiences, and build networks with like-minded individuals.

In an effort to inspire the next generation of researchers, we will be presenting young investigator awards for both oral and poster presentations. Additionally, travel grants will be offered through a lucky draw.

We have chosen the symbol of an elephant and splashing water to symbolize the Songkran festival, our Thai New Year celebration, during which Thais pay respects to elders by pouring scented water on their hands. The streets come alive with joyful water battles, attracting tourists from around the world. We would love for you to join in the celebration with us at the venue.

Don't forget to register for the Congress in advance to secure your spot in our hands-on respiratory care workshops. Seats are limited, so it's first come, first served.

Looking forward to welcoming you in Bangkok!

Sincerely,

Aroonwan Preutthipan, M.D., FCCP.
