The University of Cape Town, Division of Paediatric Allergy at the Red Cross Children’s War Memorial Hospital in Cape Town runs a series of talks the Allergy in Africa series. These talks cover issues relating to allergy and asthma, with a special focus on allergy practice in developing countries. We offer these talks via zoom to all on our mailing list as well as anyone able to access the zoom link, so feel free to pass it on.
Individuals, or a group of interested parties in your hospital, university or community can arrange to meet around one computer or screen to access the talks. The webinars will take place at 8:00 am South African time and are thus suited for people in Africa, Europe, and the Indian subcontinent. Participants who would like to join but cannot make the sessions live due to time zone differences will be able to view the recorded webinars below.
To sign up for future correspondence and to receive the invitations containing the Zoom links to the talks, or to ask any questions please email Heidi Facey-Thomas at Heidi.facey-thomas@uct.ac.za
Remember that all our past webinars have been recorded and are available below.
We look forward to seeing you online!
