Welcome!

The 5th conference of the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease (The Union), Europe Region, will be held in Dubrovnik, Croatia, between 27 and 30 May 2009.
The tradition of hosting top level conferences continues, as the city of Dubrovnik organized in 1988 the first congress of the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease ever convened outside Paris.
You will be exposed to a stimulating scientific and educational programme, during which all fields of tuberculosis and respiratory medicine will be covered by world renowned experts.
