World Association for Bronchology and Interventional Pulmono (WABI-Pulmono) is a non-profit organization established on October 2, 2001. Our organization aims to promote the advancement and accessibility of advanced and safe respiratory endoscopy worldwide. WABI-Pulmono brings together diverse organizations related to bronchology (the study, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases in the airway region including the trachea, bronchi, and lungs) and interventional pulmonology (the use of minimally invasive endoscopic techniques for the treatment of diseases in the airway region). Through facilitating collaboration and exchange among medical professionals and researchers in these fields, we strive to contribute to the progress and development of technology and science in bronchology and interventional pulmonology. Ultimately, our goal is to enhance the health and well-being of people worldwide. Leading the organization are Stefano Gasparini, Hideo Sakai, Silvia Adriana Quadrelli, and Hisafumi Shinagawa.
