Welcome Message from President of Malaysian Thoracic Society

Dear colleagues, friends, and distinguished partners,

It is with great pride and pleasure that I extend my warmest invitation to the 2025 Annual Congress of the Malaysian Thoracic Society, scheduled to take place from August 14th to 17th at the esteemed Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre.  This highly anticipated event serves as a premier platform for the exchange of knowledge, insights, and innovations in respiratory medicine, and we are honoured to host professionals from across the globe.

The 2025 Congress reflects our unwavering commitment to advancing the field of respiratory health through education, research, and clinical excellence.

The meticulously curated scientific programme, led by our dedicated scientific chairs, Dr. Syazatul Syakirin Sirol Aflah and Dr. N. Fafwati Faridatul Akmar Mohammad, promises a dynamic and enriching experience. Attendees will engage with a broad spectrum of topics, including cutting-edge research, evidence-based clinical practices, and hands-on workshops designed to enhance professional competencies.

I would like to take this opportunity to commend the Organising Committee, chaired by the remarkable Dr. Wan Jen Lye, for their tireless efforts in shaping what will undoubtedly be an impactful and memorable congress.  I also wish to extend my deepest gratitude to our industry partners and sponsors for their invaluable support and collaboration, which continue to drive the success of our initiatives.

As we convene at this pivotal gathering, I encourage all participants to actively engage, forge meaningful connections, and inspire one another in our shared mission to advance respiratory care.  Let us seize this opportunity to collectively contribute to the progress and excellence that define our field.

We look forward to welcoming you to Kuala Lumpur for an extraordinary congress that promises to be intellectually stimulating and professionally rewarding.

With warmest regards,

Professor Dr Ahmad Izuanuddin Ismail
President
Malaysian Thoracic Society
