Blog for Respiratory-Medicine-Post-Graduates of Apollo Hospitals,Chennai,India - Diplomate National Board(DNB), started in the Year 2009 October ,by PGs & the Academic Co-Ordinator of Department - Dr.R.P.Ilangho - for enabling these Young PGs to INTER_CONNECT ideally for becoming better Pulmonologists.The word~ REMAP09 ~ was coined thus:RE= RE spiratory M=M edicine A=Apollo P= P ostGraduate 09= 2009 - thus meaning "Respiratory Medicine Apollo PostGraduate 2009 batch"
