Pediatric Pulmonology

Pediatric Pulmonology focuses on respiratory conditions affecting infants, children, and adolescents, with emphasis on the unique challenges of developing lungs and airways. Respiratory disorders during childhood can influence growth, daily activities, and long-term lung health, making early recognition and appropriate care important. This session covers a wide range of conditions, from common airway disorders to complex congenital and chronic lung diseases. This session will highlight important areas in pediatric respiratory care, including childhood lung disorders, clinical evaluation, and approaches that support healthy respiratory development.
