A team of doctors dedicated to raising awareness in Zimbabwe have opened a Facebook page to share more information with the public and fellow health care professionals. They have invited patients and caregivers to join the support group and are sharing vital information on HAE. Have a look at www.facebook.com/HAE-Zimbabwe-106229328431928. Also, Dr. Careen – a lead dermatologist in Zimbabwe – has put up the HAEi Emergency Department posters in local hospitals to create more awareness on HAE.
I have partnered with the Rare Disease Ghana Initiative and held an HAE training seminar for doctors and clinicians. It was well attended with over 40 participants who engaged the doctor panelists from Kenya and South Africa.
The first HAE training has been held in Tanzania, and it was well attended by doctors and clinicians. Dr. Bowry from Kenya presented on a diagnostic approach to HAE, while Dr. Peter from South Africa engaged the audience with treatment and management of HAE.
I am in contact with HAE patients in Sudan, and we have been able to refer them to the HAE knowledgeable doctor, Prof. Nahla Erwa, for better management and care.
