    Information for the practicing allergist

WAO White Book

The WAO White Book on Allergy outlines the data which indicate that allergy is a major global public health issue, and provides "high level" recommendation for action based on WAO member society reports on allergy education and service provision requirements. Editors: Professors Ruby Pawankar, Stephen T. Holgate, G. Walter Canonica, and Richard F. Lockey. Executive Summary also available.

           ESPAI

ESPAI was founded in May 2002 as the first society concerned with pediatric allergy and immunology in Egypt.  The start was in Cairo but its activities will hopefully expand to span the whole country.

 

    Mission Statement

ESPAI is a non-profit society dedicated to the advancement of pediatric allergy and  immunology by promoting education, stimulating research, and encouraging exchange of knowledge and cooperation with other medical societies and those engaged in the field, with an ultimate goal of improving medical care to patients.
