PATS is a respiratory society made up of healthcare professionals from across the continent and beyond. Formed in 2003, we now reach over 1,000 healthcare professionals from 65 countries.
Africa is the continent most afflicted by morbidity and death from respiratory disease. As well as the burden of pneumonia and HIV-related respiratory illness including TB, there is an increasing problem with asthma and tobacco related disease.
The Pan African Thoracic Society members adopted a new Constitution at the General Assembly held during the PATS/SATS Congress 2018 in Durban, South Africa. The Constitution is registered in South Africa as part of the Society's registration as a Non-Profit Organisation (reference number 221-195-NPO)
The Pan African Thoracic Society is a major professional organization representing Lung Health in Africa.
