History
“On October 18, 1978, the Brazilian Society of Pulmonology and Phthisiology was born. Born, perhaps, is not the most appropriate verb. It is, in reality, the sum of the experience, successes, struggles and greatness achieved by the two entities that, in the past, brought together specialists from the lungs of our land” – Dr. Mário Rigatto, vice-president of SBPT for two years 1977/1978.

1937 – Foundation of the Brazilian Federation of Tuberculosis and Respiratory Diseases.

1974 – Foundation of the Brazilian Society of Pulmonology.
