Welcome from the President of ASDV
Dear Distinguished guests, Executive Committee, Conference Organizers,
Colleagues, Ladies and Gentlemen.
It’s with immense pleasure, honour and humility that I take this opportunity
to welcome you all to Durban, South Africa and to the second African society
of Dermatology and Venerology conference. I take this opportunity also to
thank the organizing committee for the wonderful job they have done to make
this conference a success. We envision a conference rich in scientific content
encompassing the latest advances, information and innovations in the fields of
Dermatology, Venerology, Aesthetics and Dermatosurgery.
The theme of this year’s conference is “Dermatology for Africa”. In line with
the theme we gear to discuss problems that affect us and the accepted good
practices. The aim is to impact knowledge in such a way that each delegate can
put it into their practice and make Africa a better place.
We have invited renowned world and regional experts who will be sharing
the latest discoveries and development as well as practice pearls in the field
of Dermatology and Venerology. I urge members and participants to interact
maximally as well as enjoy the beautiful city of Durban; a cosmopolitan city
which is a tourists dream come true. It is a bustling cosmopolitan city with its
unique natures and a vibrant multi-cultural society where modern meets the
tradition.
I therefore take this opportunity once again to thank and wish all a nice stay in
Durban as we enhance the theme of this year’s conference. “Dermatology for
Africa”.
Dr. Evanson N. Kamuri
