The fourth edition of Bronchus 2025, an Interventional Pulmonology Conference, brought together medical experts from around the world to discuss new advancements in lung health and treatment methods. The event was organized by Yashoda Hospitals and had participation from over 60 international faculty members, more than 150 national faculty members, and over 3,000 pulmonologists.
A major change in this year’s conference was moving from a traditional workshop format to specialized training programs. These programs focused on diagnosing and treating specific diseases. This allowed young doctors to interact directly with top global experts and learn about the latest treatment techniques.
Dr. G.S. Rao, Managing Director of Yashoda Hospitals, spoke about the growing importance of lung medicine. He emphasized that continuous modernization and global collaboration are making such conferences essential for sharing knowledge and medical innovations.
During the conference, Dr. Pavan Gorukanti, Director of Yashoda Hospitals and a Pulmonologist and Critical Care Expert, introduced Lung Vision, an AI-based device for early lung cancer detection. He also presented radial EBUS, a tool that helps in the early-stage diagnosis of lung cancer. These technologies aim to improve survival rates by ensuring early detection and timely treatment.
To promote lung health awareness, Yashoda Hospitals also organized the Bronchus Run, a 2K run involving lung specialists. Dr. Harikishan, a senior interventional pulmonologist, highlighted that such activities encourage people to focus on preventive care and healthy lifestyles.
With lung cancer continuing to be a serious health issue in India, events like Bronchus 2025 help medical professionals gain advanced skills and knowledge, ultimately improving patient care and treatment outcomes.
