Medinfo 2010 - 13th International Congress on Medical Informatics Medinfo 2010

Cape Town, South Africa will host the 13th International Congress on Medical Informatics from the 12 - 15 of September 2010.
This will be the first time MEDINFO is held in Africa. It promises to boost exposure to grassroots healthcare delivery and the underpinning health information systems. This will open the door to new academic partnerships into the future and help to nurture a new breed of health informaticians.

The CHIRAD Foundation is supporting Medinfo 2010 in Cape Town, South Africa by raising funds for SAHIA (South African Health Informatics Association) to help students who would otherwise be unable to attend the congress. The aim of the effort to raise US$100 as a once-off personal contribution is to allow individuals, committed to the continued upliftment of health/medical informatics, to contribute a token amount to a fund specially created to sponsor students in our field. Many $100 will enable these gifted people the chance to attend Medinfo2010 and learn from the world leaders. These students will be selected on merit by the LOC with input from the SPC and will typically come from disadvantaged countries where funding for prestigious events like Medinfo is non existent.
