Interstitial lung disease (ILD) encompasses a diverse group of lung disorders characterized by inflammation and scarring of the lung tissue, which affects the interstitium—the space between the air sacs. While the exact cause of ILD isn't always clear, certain factors can increase the risk of developing this condition. Chronic exposure to environmental pollutants such as asbestos fibers, silica dust, and certain chemicals can contribute to the development of ILD, particularly in occupations like mining, construction, and agriculture.

As I leave Canada and finish my DRCPC in Lung Transplant after a year at Toronto General I can’t help but reflect on the wonderful year of learning, adventure and wonder it’s been !! Getting into the biggest Lung transplant program in the world at Toronto General was a dream come true. Getting exposed to all aspects of the field with cutting edge technologies like EVLP has truely been a blessing. 218 Lung transplants in 2023 is a world record and was only possible with blood and sweat of all. Time with family has kept me going all throughout. I move back home now with the desire to improve what’s lacking in the field and develop lung transplant as a viable option for for all those patients with respiratory diseases who are suffering and have no other shot at a meaningful life !!

I will be sharing and providing information about Lung Transplant and Organ donation soon through social media with an endeavour to spread more awareness about this so that more patients in need can benefit . A very happy new year to all.
