Dr. Harish Mallapura Maheshwarappa, President of IARC, shared his optimism, stating, "This partnership is a major milestone in our mission to deliver high-quality respiratory care. Together, we will promote research, education, and evidence-based practices to enhance services nationwide."

In addition to training, the partnership aims to increase awareness about respiratory therapies among healthcare professionals, further improving the standard of care across India. Dr. Sriharsha Tatineni, Vice President of IARC, expressed his enthusiasm, saying, "By equipping healthcare professionals with essential knowledge and tools, this collaboration will raise respiratory care standards across the country."
