World Lung Day 25 September 2020
Respiratory Infections
David CL Lam, MP Lee, Johnny Chan
The COVID-19 pandemics impacted not only Hong Kong but the whole world, and it has no sign to settle down yet. The Forum of International Respiratory Societies (FIRS) has selected Respiratory Infections as the theme for the World Lung Day on 25 September, 2020.
The Hong Kong Thoracic Society (HKTS) has been asked, via APSR, by FIRS to provide translation to the following passage in Chinese. The relevant messages have been summarized and put up as the World Lung Day Toolkit 2020 currently available in different languages and available on the FIRS website:
https://www.firsnet.org/index.php/news-and-events/news-article/150-world-lung-day-25-september-2020.
HKTS works hand in hand with the CHEST Delegation Hong Kong and Macau and the Hong Kong Lung Foundation, in support of World Lung Day 2020. You will see these messages and advocates for Respiratory Health, not limited to Respiratory Infections, on our Joint websites as well as publicity events recently held by the societies.
