APRC 2026: Transforming Lung Health and Creating a Future Free of Tuberculosis

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

On behalf of the Anti-Tuberculosis Association of Thailand under Royal Patronage and the Thoracic Society of Thailand under Royal Patronage, we are thrilled to invite you to the 10th Asia Pacific Region Conference of the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease (APRC 2026).

The event will take place from 4-7 February 2026 at the beautiful Samyan Mitrtown Hall in Bangkok, Thailand. We extend our warmest welcome to you as our distinguished guests, offering an opportunity to experience the vibrancy of Bangkok while engaging in crucial discussions about lung health and tuberculosis.

Conference Theme and Vision

APRC 2026 aims to continue building upon the progress achieved in previous APRC 2024, with an emphasis on “Transforming Lung Health and Creating a Future Free of Tuberculosis through Research, Innovation and Networking”. This theme embodies our mission to bring together experts and stakeholders from around the world to share the latest research, innovations, and best practices in the fight against tuberculosis and lung disease. Our program features distinguished speakers from diverse disciplines who will provide plenary lectures and sessions covering tuberculosis, emerging respiratory diseases, universal health coverage, and non-communicable lung conditions. The ultimate vision is to collaboratively shape a healthier future for all by sharing knowledge and driving meaningful change.

Thailand, the “Land of Smiles,” named for its full ceremonial name that reflects its grandeur and spiritual heritage, offers an enriching cultural experience alongside our flagship event. Highlights include iconic attractions such as Wat Phra Kaew (Temple of the Emerald Buddha), Wat Arun (The Temple of Dawn), and the vibrant atmosphere of Yaowarat (Bangkok’s Chinatown), famous for its street food and lively streets. 

Beyond Bangkok, discover the historical charm of Ayutthaya, a UNESCO World Heritage site filled with stunning temple ruins, or relax on the beautiful beaches of Phuket and Hua Hin. Explore the rich culture and breathtaking mountain scenery in Chiang Mai, where temples, night markets, and cultural activities await. 

Whether you are seeking adventure or relaxation, you can enjoy spectacular views of Bangkok’s landmarks on a Chao Phraya River cruise or unwind with a traditional Thai massage that will soothe and rejuvenate your body and spirit. Don’t forget to indulge in delicious Thai cuisine, known for its balance of bold flavours, and visit the lively Chatuchak Weekend Market, one of the largest outdoor markets in the world.
