Overview:

We are pleased to welcome you to the 5th Conference on Liver Disease in Africa (COLDA) – to be held in person in Cape Town after 2 years of virtual meetings!

COLDA is endorsed by AASLD and EASL. We thank both of these societies for their ongoing support in empowering African healthcare

professionals to diagnose, prevent, treat, and achieve a cure for all liver diseases. We have developed an exciting academic program full of both local and international speakers, with a strong emphasis on science within Africa. There is ample time to network with old and new colleagues. Our Faculty, invited speakers, and abstract presenters representing Africa and the International Hepatology community will address the challenges and progress achieved in addressing liver disease, particularly the elimination of viral hepatitis in Africa. The role of patient advocacy in driving viral hepatitis elimination programs is recognized, and we look forward to active interaction with many of the NGO’s and community organizations involved in the support, education and linkage to care of individuals with viral hepatitis. There will a capacity building session on the role of point-of-care Liver Ultrasound in the management of liver diseases. You will also have the opportunity to personally interact with Rob Brierley, Editor-in-Chief of The Lancet Gastroenterology &

Hepatology on how to prepare your manuscript for submission. We hope that this conference will continue to act as a catalyst for

translating science into clinical practice while promoting medical education in the field of hepatology and setting up active collaborations throughout the African region. We look forward to sharing this exciting COLDA 2022 program and meeting you all in person in Cape Town.

Organized by the SHARE Global Health Foundation in close collaboration with regional societies, COLDA 2022 aims at empowering healthcare professionals (HCPs) to diagnose, prevent, treat, and achieve a cure for liver diseases for the benefit of patients in Africa. This being the 5th COLDA, it continues to cultivate a platform that provides a unique opportunity for clinicians, researchers, policymakers, industry representatives, and other healthcare professionals in the African region. Together with support from an international community of experts, they will exchange knowledge on the latest developments and achievements in the management of viral hepatitis and liver disease with a special focus on the African context.

COLDA aspires to provide you with a highly scientific and educational abstract-driven conference consisting of keynote speeches, state-of-the-art lectures, oral and poster abstract presentations, roundtable discussions, and debates with ample time for discussion.

COLDA will act as a catalyst for translating science into clinical practice while promoting medical education in the field of hepatology and setting up collaborations within the African region. Everyone will have an exceptional opportunity to share and acquire knowledge, and experience a wide spectrum of topics related to liver disease.
