Registration for the congress is free at: https://paflar.org/2022-paflar-congress/.

The Paediatric Society of the African League Against Rheumatism (PAFLAR) is a prestigious non-governmental organization established in September 2019 with a core mandate to promote a world where children with rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (RMDs) have the same and optimal chance to live, grow and develop like their other normal counterparts, especially in Africa. PAFLAR envisions to achieve this through effective strategies and programs that impact on the well-being of African children with RMDs through advocacy and enactment of policies adapted to the specificity of the African continent.

The PAFLAR congress provides participants the opportunity to exchange experiences, share knowledge, and enhance networking. The theme of this year’s conference “Paediatric rheumatology in Africa: challenge, innovate and grow” addresses the current problems in the paediatric rheumatology domain in Africa and how to surmount them.
