What an awesome weekend at the CASA congress and ACF AGM. The views were spectacular and even those of us from the larger continent didn’t find it too ‘windy’ in Cape Town!
It was great to see a good number of Chiropractors from all over Africa coming from as far as Ghana to participate. A wonderful way to connect with our profession and it’s pioneers, some of which have a ‘lonely’ chiropractic existence in their home country as the only chiropractor. This was a chance to learn, not solely from the amazing speakers lined up by CASA but from each other, our experiences and the problems and solutions that have been developed in individual countries. We had a fantastic meeting regarding Chiropractic Education in Africa and hope we can build on this to develop a new and innovative education concept on the continent. Forging a way forward in developing the chiropractic profession in Africa.
The AGM was extremely successful even with our President having to attend virtually; not an easy feat. Thank you to Richard Brown for your opening words. We are, as always, grateful for your support of our small community of chiropractors in Africa. I am sure that it is at events like this that we truly foster a ‘community’ and the associations we build facilitate our collective and individual progress; ‘Chiropractors that fire together, wire together’.
A huge thank you to all those that attended and to CASA for hosting us and organising such a successful congress!
I would like to remind everyone that we decided to host the next conference in Rwanda in 2023. Keep an eye out for further information. I hope we can bring chiropractors from all over Africa together in Rwanda.
