Welcome message |
A group of over 60 Asian paediatricians and scientists interested in Primary Immunodeficiency met in Osaka, April 2015 and pledged to establish the Asia Pacific Society for Immunodeficiencies with the following missions:
- To care and cure patients with primary immunodeficiency (PID)
- To share our PID experience so as to promote collaboration & education
- To improve PID management through understanding its genetics & pathogenesis
- To advocate and advance the care of PID patients through engaging governments, patient organizations & industry
We organized our first Winter School to promote PID education for trainees and fellows in Hanoi, Vietnam on 26th - 29th November 2015. To continue the success of the Winter School APSID will organize the 2016 Spring School on 28-29th April 2016. The Inauguration Ceremony and the First APSID Scientific Meeting will be held on 30th April - 1st May 2016. We need support from all of you who are committed to enhance PID care, education and research in Asia Pacific. Please join us.
