About this event

Three Days of Education, Innovation and Collaboration in Diabetic Foot Care

Welcome Message From the President

Africa carries a significant burden of diabetes related foot complications, yet many amputations remain preventable. The Pan African Diabetic Foot Study Group brings together professionals across the continent with one shared purpose: to strengthen prevention, early intervention, education and multidisciplinary diabetic foot care.

Our vision is to build stronger networks, encourage African-led research and ensure that knowledge translates into better outcomes for patients across our continent.

Cairo 2028 will provide an opportunity to learn, collaborate and shape the future of diabetic foot care in Africa.

Prof. Zulfiqarali G. Abbas — President, Pan African Diabetic Foot Study Group
