Our Vision
- Developing local services for ear, nose, and throat conditions in children across the African continent. In doing so, become advocates that promote healthy child and adolescent health as it relates to childhood growth and development.
- Creating a network of African Paediatric otolaryngologists to obtain advice, grow their services, collectively educate other specialists and conduct research relevant to our population, and our health needs.
