Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to attend the 14th Conference of the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease (IUATLD) Africa Region to be held in Durban on 11-14 June 2002, in collaboration with the Department of Health of the Republic of South Africa.

There is increased interest in tackling the tuberculosis, AIDS and tobacco epidemics in low income countries. WHO, NGOs and donor agencies are coordinating their efforts to reduce the burden affecting many low income countries by joining forces.

The scientific programme of this conference will address many important issues pertaining not only to tuberculosis and tobacco control but, also to asthma, child lung health and other lung diseases. I hope that you will enjoy the presentations and discussions you will participate in during the conference, at the poster sessions and postgraduate courses.
