Stop normalizing poverty: How can African children achieve their true lung health potential?
Abstract
The British Thoracic Society (BTS) launched a Global Health Group in 2019 in partnership with the Pan African Thoracic Society. This paper reports the third of a series of BTS Winter Meeting global lung health symposia addressing lung health in African children in the context of poverty. In this report, we summarize the two presentations included in the symposium. The first talk, by Refiloe Masekela, focused on the legacy of poor lung health across generations providing an overview of factors known to be important in child respiratory health. The second talk, by Kevin Mortimer, summarized the evidence to date on intervention studies of clean cookstoves and child lung health.
