The Pan African Society of Cardiology and its commitment to clinical research training

At the 15th PASCAR Congress in association with the Kenya Cardiac Society held from 22 to 25 November 2021 in Mombasa, Kenya, the PASCAR Governing Council took the strategic decision to form the PASCAR Task Force Clinical Research Training and appointed two strong clinician scientists chair persons: Prof. Friedrich Thienemann from the University of Cape Town, South Africa and University of Zurich, Switzerland; and Prof. Mahmoud Sani from the Bayero University Kano, Nigeria.

This strategic decision was made to support the clinical research activities across the African continent with a special focus on areas where knowledge on clinical research methods is scarce and clinical and epidemiological research data are often lacking. Read more about the congress here.
