Our Initiatives
Research Advancements
PAFLAR is dedicated to enhancing the understanding of rheumatic conditions in African children, striving for advancements in diagnostics and treatments to improve their quality of life.
Educational Programs
In our commitment to knowledge empowerment, PAFLAR provides healthcare professionals, parents and communities with valuable information on paediatric rheumatic conditions. Through our educational initiatives, we not only raise awareness but also play a pivotal role in enhancing early detection and timely intervention – essential elements in effectively managing these conditions. In 2023, our monthly Continuing Medical Education (CME) sessions were attended by over 1100 participants from 44 countries across the globe.
Groundbreaking Projects
PAFLAR leads groundbreaking initiatives to reshape the field of paediatric rheumatology in Africa. A significant milestone is the introduction of Africa's first guidelines for managing Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA). Furthermore, we are at the forefront of establishing Africa's first JIA registry, a crucial resource that will enhance our understanding of the prevalence, demographics, and treatment outcomes of JIA in the region.
