International Child Neurology Congress

Cape Town, South Africa | May 5-10, 2024

Footprints to the Future

Child neurology is a rapidly evolving field with an emerging but severely under-resourced base of expertise across the African continent, a region which is projected to have 40% of the world’s children by 2050. The growing burden of neurological and developmental risk in our populations is an ongoing challenge for the practising clinicians in the region, but also an opportunity to find solutions with global impact. ICNA was first held on African soil, with the 11th International Conference in North Africa in Egypt in 2010. This was indeed a developmental milestone for child neurology and child development in Africa. We now invite you to return to Africa, this time to the south with a renewed focus on growing capacity in the paediatric neurological disciplines in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA).
