Dear Colleagues,

The Bengal Tuberculosis Association, under the aegis of the Tuberculosis Association of India (TAI), warmly invites you to the 80th National Conference on Tuberculosis & Chest Diseases – NATCON 2025, taking place on December 19-21, 2025, at the The Westin, Kolkata.

As one of the oldest medical conferences in India, NATCON is a celebration of heritage and progress. Participate and become a part of this prestigious legacy.

Although NATCON started as a conference on tuberculosis, it has evolved to encompass all aspects of pulmonary diseases, while maintaining its focus on tuberculosis as a major priority.

This year’s program offers a dynamic lineup of academic activities, including lectures by esteemed national and international faculty, interactive workshops, and engaging sessions. With its rich history in tuberculosis research and treatment since the 1920s, Kolkata sets the stage for meaningful exchanges, blending reflections from the past with aspirations for the future.

The city of Kolkata, renowned for its cultural richness and intellectual vibrancy, promises to provide the perfect setting for collaboration and inspiration.

The Organizing Committee of NATCON 2025 eagerly looks forward to welcoming you with our warmest hospitality and ensuring an enriching, productive, and memorable experience.

Warm Regards,
Organizing Committee
NATCON 2025
