KASH Conference, Nairobi, Kenya, February 2020
It was a delight to come together as a team – the IMPALA team – creating the first of its kind IMPALA symposium at the 10th KEMRI Annual Scientific and Health (KASH) Conference
13 IMPALA partners / collaborators, including myself, had the opportunity to share their current and past work with a wider audience enlightening people about the important work IMPALA has achieved and provisional results of research conducted. I presented the work done by the Pan African Thoracic Society (PATS) in collaboration with IMPALA, and other research projects, on Spirometry in Africa in the past 2 years. The Pan Africa Thoracic Society has trained 326 students in 21 courses in 24 months across 13 African countries.
Big thanks to friend and colleague Dr Hellen Meme for leading and managing this initiative. Thanks to Bertie, Angela, Kevin and the IMPALA team for supporting the symposium. Time spent with colleagues and being at the beautiful Safari Park Hotel with its wonderful facilities and majestic tress was simply wonderful.
