Day 3 of INTEREST 2021 is dedicated to the late Prof. Charles Boucher, who sadly passed away in February of this year.
Alongside the late Dr. Joep Lange, Charles founded the INTEREST conference in 2007 to bring together a multidisciplinary team of experts who could share knowledge and establish partnerships with the ultimate aim of improving the life quality of people living with HIV across the African continent.
The third day of this year's conference will feature memorial lectures
focusing on HIV epidemiological trends, the evolution of HIV treatment to
date and changes in how HIV healthcare services are being delivered in the
region. Delegates can expect to take part in interactive sessions exploring the
management of drug resistance, virological failure and the future of PrEP
in Africa.
Charles' love for teaching, particularly in regards to educating
young researchers, was well known. This final day of INTEREST 2021 features a
mentorship session, with the day specifically targeted towards young
investigators.
We invite you to join us in honouring Charles' memory at INTEREST 2021 and

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a devastating effect worldwide and presents unique challenges to healthcare providers, particularly those working in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC).
Often, in LMICs, disease burden is more significant, outcomes are poorer, and demographic characteristics necessitate region-specific approaches to healthcare organization.
Following severe COVID-19 outbreaks, healthcare systems become overwhelmed and struggle to provide essential levels of care to patients.
To respond effectively to COVID-19 in LMICs, we need to develop new contextualized and locally relevant approaches.
The appropriate diagnosis and clinical management of patients are of utmost importance, and inappropriate treatments should be avoided. Global inequities in vaccine distribution have the potential to worsen the pandemic in LMICs. In many countries, there is no established platform for vaccinating an entire adult population.
Delivering vaccines to essential and front-line workers is achievable, but how do we address accessing vulnerable and hard-to-reach populations?
How can these regional differences in access to medications, health care infrastructure, and public health measures be addressed to combat COVID-19 in LMICs?
To address these challenges and provide a platform for exchanging knowledge, we are pleased to announce our new program, Approaches to Combat COVID-19 in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs).
This exciting workshop will focus on the specific regional challenges for LMICs in the clinical management of COVID-19. Topics of discussion will include how to handle surges, public health, prevention strategies, and focus on vaccines rollout.
Join us virtually on 23 November!
Registration fees are waived for healthcare professionals. For more information on the program and to register for the virtual workshop, please visit our website - https://academicmedicaleducation.com/meeting/approaches-combat-covid-19-LMIC-workshop
