Welcome Message

Dear Colleagues,

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the 13th International

Congress of the Egyptian Society of Pediatric Allergy and Immunology

(ESPAI 2017).

The 2017 event is blessed by the participation of three distinguished

international pioneers in allergy and immunology in addition to the

Egyptian experts in the field. In conjunction with the congress, the

World Allergy Organization is holding a world allergy training school

(WATS) that is aimed to develop learning communities appropriate to a

specific regional context, which will help build sustainable capacity in

the field of allergy by strengthening already existing knowledge and

skills and encouraging local experts to apply this knowledge to further

develop the specialty of allergy and to widen the provision of patient

care.

This brochure will provide you with detailed info of all you need to

know about the sessions and speakers. Meeting local, regional and

international colleagues will be enjoyable indeed.

We look forward to a topmost elaborate congress that would meet your

expectations en-shaa-Allah

Sincerely,

Prof. Yehia El-Gamal

President of the congress
