Dear Esteemed
Participants,
We are delighted to welcome you to the Second Qatar International Thoracic Conference (QITC 2026), taking place from 3–5 December 2026 at The Ritz-Carlton, Doha.
Building on the success of the inaugural QITC 2024, this conference marks a defining moment in the growth of thoracic medicine across Qatar and the broader region. It brings together leading experts and clinicians in Respiratory Medicine, Thoracic Surgery, and Thoracic Radiology, alongside nurses, pharmacists, and allied health professionals, for three days of rigorous scientific exchange and collaborative dialogue.
With an anticipated attendance of over 500 participants, the scientific programme spans the full spectrum of thoracic medicine — from airway and parenchymal lung disease to thoracic oncology, sleep medicine, and respiratory infections — across both medical and surgical subspecialties. Sessions are delivered in a variety of formats including symposia, workshops, case discussions, debates, abstract presentations, and industry sessions, ensuring meaningful value for multidisciplinary teams at every stage of their career.
Accreditation for Continuing Professional Development (CPD) credits is being sought; details will be confirmed in due course.
QITC 2026 is proudly organised under the auspices of the Qatar Thoracic Society, in partnership with Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) — Qatar's principal provider of secondary and tertiary healthcare and one of the foremost academic medical institutions in the Middle East.We look forward to welcoming you to Doha — to the science, the collaboration, and the conversations that will shape the future of thoracic medicine in our region
