AHN 9TH Annual workshop and meeting


The 9th African Heart Network annual workshop and meeting will be held during the World Congress of Cardiology in Beijing, China on the 17th of June 2010. The theme for this year is "Strengthening Heart Foundations in Africa".

All African delegates to the Congress are invited to the AHN workshop. Visit and meet us at Booth 22.

The AHN meeting and workshop provides a forum to share, exchange and agree ways to increase the influence and visibility of AHN and its members with regard to CVD prevention and reduction in Africa. Networking and establishing partnerships is crucial if we are to unite action and collaborate on efforts to ensure the growing epidemic of CVD in Africa is effectively and efficiently tackled.
