4th International Primary Care Respiratory Group (IPCRG) congress in Seville

The international Conference IPCRG was held in Seville 28-31st of May. All the delegates have had the posibility to know Seville and also to visit Andalusia during spring, the most popular season to enjoy its weather and the beautiful landscape and to visit other interesting historical and tourist cities such as Cordoba or Granada (ancient capitals of the Spanish Muslims with their famous Mezquita and Alhambra).

In Spain, the congress have been organise together with the GRAP (Sociedad de Respiratorio en Atención Primaria) and for Medikro, it was a great opportunity to participate in the conference by lending our spirometer system for screening in the nice city center of Seville during Thursday and Friday, where a group of nurses were testing over 100 patients, as well as for the workshop of Enrique Cimas and Javier Pérez on Friday 30th in other to educate future trainers in spirometry in Spain and Portugal, over 70 doctors were attending to spirometry course to learn how to performance a quality spirometry and get better diagnosis using for that purpose Medikro system.

The 4th IPCRG congress in Seville have been a very good occasion to support the Spanish GPs and international GPs community by proving high quality spirometers tools for the primary care system. We hope that it improved the Medikro awareness in Spain and in the other participating countries too.

We would like to thank the organization of the congress for all the support received during the congress, specially to Miguel Román (President 4th IPCRG World Conference) and Enrique Cimas (Member of Scientific Committee and responsible for Comunication and press relations).
