It gives me great pleasure to launch this new respiratory journal. Recent years have been very unpredictable, and I hope we are past the worst period of the pandemic. Covid greatly impacted the healthcare personnel, and many junior doctors missed out on structured teaching. I would like to thank my team of editors, contributors and publishers for the hard work they have put in to enable the first edition to be published. The journal’s first edition has a variety of respiratory articles which we hope will provide a good learning opportunity for our readers.
