Mumbai, India
Mumbai, also known as the “City of Dreams,” is a fascinating destination that offers a unique blend of culture, history, and modernity. It is also a hub for business and commerce, making it a prime location for conferences and events.
Why Mumbai, India?
We are very proud to choose Mumbai as the RSVVW’24 conference destination since it aligns with our mission to increase awareness on the global burden of Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), especially in low- and middle-income countries. In India, RSV is responsible for a significant burden of respiratory disease among children under the age of five. One study conducted in New Delhi found that RSV accounted for 21% of hospitalizations for acute respiratory infections among children under the age of two.
Prevention and management of RSV infections in India remain a significant challenge due to the lack of RSV-specific vaccines or antiviral therapies. However, efforts are being made to develop effective interventions to reduce the burden of RSV in India and other low- and middle-income countries.
Therefore, the ReSViNET Foundation is thrilled to host the 8th edition of RSVVW in Mumbai, India. Below, we would like to highlight the beautiful points that Mumbai has to offer as well as the incredibly rich culture it has, we believe it sets the stage for our next RSVVW edition to be the most memorable one yet!
