INSPiRED – International Society of Pediatric Respiratory Diseases
INSPiRED was founded by a group of passionate pediatric pulmonologists representing different parts of the world who decided to combine forces and form a unique, independent medical society for pediatric respiratory diseases.
The motivation to form this global society originates from the recognition that pediatric respiratory diseases represent the major burden of childhood morbidity and mortality worldwide. Currently, no international medical society exists to exclusively target this massive challenge on a global basis. An international society representing health care providers focused on pediatric respiratory conditions fulfills a significant unmet need.
The core philosophy of INSPiRED revolves around ensuring access to quality pediatric respiratory care and fostering a culture of collaboration across borders, transcending geographical boundaries. The vision is to build a vibrant, inclusive, multi-disciplinary global platform for specialists from all healthcare sectors where they can exchange ideas, share knowledge and promote research in order to improve health outcomes and equity in care for children with respiratory diseases worldwide.
The only global congress focused exclusively on pediatric respiratory diseases.
Connect and collaborate with professionals, scientists, allied health professionals, and trainees globally in the field of pediatric respiratory diseases.
Learn from world-renowned experts addressing a variety of challenges in pediatric respiratory diseases.
Present your research at abstract sessions and participate in discussions designed to foster learning, collaboration, and innovation globally.
