Welcome
Invitation from the Congress Chair
The Sun City slogan reads: “A million thrills. One destination.” We are adding another million thrills, with one congress! The Ithemba le Afrika congress will be a landmark, and one of the biggest, medical congresses offered on the African continent in 2013. This is happening because of a first ever congress partnership between ALLSA (The Allergy Society of South Africa), SATS (The Thoracic Society of South Africa) and ASID (the African Society for Immunodeficiencies). A large faculty of international and local speakers will offer an outstanding academic program on the synergies and the State of the Art in these specialties. Clinicians, scientist and medical workers, who deal with patients suffering from respiratory, immune and allergy related disease, will benefit at the congress.
Ithemba le Afrika translates to “hope for Africa”. The congress will offer endless networking opportunities to international, continental and regional delegates. Africa is the continent of the future. We invite you to come and learn, and meet, and partner and enjoy with us. You cannot afford to miss it!

Invitation from ALLSA
It seems like we have just finished our last Congress and we are already planning the one for 2013. Well ALLSA has a real treat in store for you in June 2013. We are hosting a combined Congress with SATS and ASID. The latter group is the African Immunodeficiency Group. Judging from the attendance at the Immunodeficiency Sessions at this year's Congress I predict this symbiotic relationship will have much appeal. I know that most of us struggle with patients who get recurrent infections and this Congress should hopefully answer all those question. In addition we have just confirmed a number of European Allergists for the meeting, the most notable of those being Adnan Custovic.
Adnan has been to South Africa before and I know he is a popular and charismatic lecturer. Because we will be a big group we have chosen to go back to Sun City. It is a wonderful Congress venue and I look forward to seeing all of you there.

Invitation from ASID
Primary Immunodeficiency has come of age at last in South Africa!
Ithemba Le Afrika will be the first congress of its kind in South Africa and the third for African Immunodeficiency since the formation of the Society in Casablanca in 2008. The 6th African School will be hosted also at this congress. Collaboration within Africa, but also with our colleagues from Europe, North and South America and even the Far East has marked the beginning steps of ASID. The “Call for Action for Africa” for Primary Immunodeficiency or in short PIDs, initiated by the Jeffrey Modell Foundation in 2012 in Hammameth, is set to continue this work of education and networking at ASID III in Sun City. Three societies have joined hands and forces to address the medical issues and needs of our patients and an international selection of esteemed speakers is keen to share their knowledge.
Doctors, nursing staff, patients and parents are invited and need to be involved for us to succeed in the care of those affected by Primary Immunodeficiency.
I look forward to see you at “Ithemba le Afrika” - Hope for Africa.
A warm welcome,
Sawubona,
