The IJTLD is the leading peer-reviewed journal dedicated to lung health worldwide.
We welcome submissions on basic, translational, clinical, epidemiological and programmatic research relevant to the Union’s mission to find health solutions for these conditions.

We have recently expanded the scope of PHA to provide coverage of relevant areas of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
