Mission
To provide systematic and coherent efforts to investigate the role of infection in pulmonary hypertension (PHT) through a consortium group of scientists with the aims to enhance research and education in this area.
About Us Our History
The risk of subjects developing pulmonary hypertension (PHT) is perhaps four to six times higher in developing countries compared to developed regions probably because of infectious diseases. Many infections can contribute to PHT such as Schistosomiasis and other Helminthic diseases; Viral infection, such as HIV.
Vision
Provide awareness to support basic, clinical, and epidemiological research efforts to raise awareness globally and focus the attention of clinicians in identifying and suspecting the diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension secondary to infection.
