The African Paediatric Nephrology Association (AfPNA) is delighted to be hosting IPNA 2025 for the first time ever on the African sub-continent.
South Africa and Cape Town in particular, is a popular destination for people from many countries in the continent as well as internationally as a tourist destination and social opportunities as well as scientific excellence
IPNA has trained more than 50 paediatric nephrology fellows in Africa who have returned to their countries of origin and developed paediatric nephrology services locally.
