Support a Delegate (Supadel)

I’ve helped sponsor African delegates so that they can attend emergency medicine conferences in affiliated with the African Federation of Emergency Medicine (AFEM). I’d like you to consider supporting them too. It is easy to do thank’s to AFEM’s ‘Supadel’ program.

Supadel is a unique AFEM initiative that sponsors the attendance of delegates from low and middle income countries at AFEM-affiliated conferences on African soil. The program has been operational for nearly five years, and in this time has allowed numerous Emergency Care professionals without the financial means to attend high quality acute care conferences throughout the continent.
