Lovexair in Malaga

The IPCRG (International Primary Care Respiratory Group) and the GRAP (Respiratory Group in Primary Care) organize this international event under the slogan "Meet, Assess, Advance".

 

Lovexair participates as an invited patient organization in the 11th IPCRG World Conference & 2nd Ibero-American Meeting on Primary Respiratory Care, which will be held from May 5 to 7, 2022, at the Trade Fair and Congress Center in Malaga.

In this meeting, it is intended to share the latest evidence in respiratory medicine adapted to the expectations of family doctors and other primary care professionals from Spanish and Portuguese-speaking countries. The celebration of the IPCRG congress in Malaga offers the Ibero-American respiratory societies in primary care the opportunity to celebrate for the second time a common forum for debate on how to improve the care of our respiratory patients, while having international speakers who could hardly collaborate in local meetings of these groups. In addition, it allows those attending the meeting the possibility of attending the plenary sessions of the IPCRG Conference in parallel.
