ESTS Course on TB and other Lung Diseases of Surgical Interest

Massive migration to Western Europe is expected to raise new challenges for health professionals in general, and for thoracic surgeons in particular. Prevalence of diseases such as tuberculosis, hydatidosis, bronchiectasis, has gradually decreased over the past 4 decades in Western Europe, and thoracic surgeons trained over the past 3 decades have had minimal exposure to such pathology. This course is jointly organised with the WHO who have assigned well renowned scientists in the field to participate as lecturers in this project.
