Did you know that KwaZulu-Natal is home to 4.2 million children under the age of 18? Yet, our paediatric healthcare system faces immense challenges due to a high burden of disease and limited resources.
Currently, there's a shortage of paediatricians and specialists in our public health sector, making it difficult to provide essential services to every child in need.
That's why the African Paediatric Fellowship Programme (APFP) was established in 2017, at the University of KwaZulu-Natal.
Our mission is clear: to empower doctors with specialist and subspecialist skills and ensuring sustainable child health capacity across South Africa.
In partnership with the University of KwaZulu-Natal and Inkosi Albert Luthuli Hospital, we're working tirelessly to extend critical care services to hospitals and guarantee every child receives the care they deserve.
But we can't do it alone. We need YOUR help! Whether you are part of an organisation, an alumnus, or simply a compassionate individual, your kind financial support can make a real difference.
Together, we can lighten the burden of care and pave the way for a healthier future. Join us in training paediatric specialists and subspecialists, ensuring every child in South Africa gets the care they need and deserve.
Together, let's make a tangible difference in the lives of children across South Africa. Join our cause today!
