The Pan African Society (PASCAR) had its beginnings in 1981 in Badagry, Nigeria in response to the total lack of interest in cardiovascular disorders by many health authorities on the continent.

Aims and Objectives set out in 1981 were to:
  • Promote activities relating to the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease
  • Promote the education and training of cardiovascular disease personnel
  • Pursue health education programmes relevant to the field of Cardiology
  • Encourage cardiovascular research by the formation of an African Heart Foundation, which will ultimately fund and coordinate relevant research activities on the continent.
In March 1989, PASCAR underwent several structural modifications including the creation of 5 regional bodies (East, West, Central, North and South).



The PAN AFRICAN SOCIETY OF CARDIOLOGY and the
UGANDA HEART ASSOCIATION are convening the third multidisciplinary conference
on heart disease, diabetes, and stroke in Africa in Kampala, Uganda on
27 - 30 May 2011

Please diarise the date and watch this space for more information.
