Page 4 - Highlights of Napcon 2021

Dr. J K Samaria MESSAGE

Organising Chairman At the outset let me thank all the esteemed faculty, delegates and all the office
NAPCON 2021 bearers of Indian Chest Society and National College of Chest Physicians for
making NAPCON Varanasi a highly successful and a memorable meeting. As
you all know, for centuries Kashi or Varanasi has been a seat for learning and
spirituality. In Mark Twain’s own words, Kashi is older than history, older than
tradition, and even older than legend. Keeping in line with heritage of this holy
city, this conference provided a robust platform for scientific deliberations,
interactions, and learning for all delegates.

In the last decade or so, clinical medicine has witnessed a rapid stride forward.
The profile of patients and presentation of the disease is changing fast.
Accordingly, every practitioner has the need to be continuously updated with
the latest developments and advances. Given the magnitude of the NAPCON
2021 scientific program, it would have been impossible for delegates to attend
all the sessions held concurrently in several halls. Therefore, this Highlights
of NAPCON publication has been prepared so as to provide delegates a
understanding of the scientific proceedings of this conference, which will
immensely contribute towards their quest for continuous learning.

Keeping in mind the busy schedule of readers who are pulmonologists, a
presenter wise wrap-up of all important talks have been featured in this book
so that readers are able to understand the essence of this meeting by merely
flipping a page.

We will consider our efforts as fulfilled, if this book proves useful to our delegates
even in a small way towards updating their clinical knowledge and I firmly believe
that this publication will find an important place in your personal library. I hereby
welcome the efforts of Klub Class for effectively preparing and publishing this
important publication in quick time.

Happy Reading !
