Live Events
Our 1-hour LIVE events provide an online platform for experts to share information, build community, and answer patient questions during and after the event. Events are streamed to Facebook and YouTube, helping us reach patients and caregivers across South Africa and beyond. These events raise awareness of allergic disease and its real impact on individuals and families, helping to dispel misconceptions and myths around allergic disease. Patients and caregivers are encouraged to submit their questions before the LIVE event, with additional questions answered throughout the session, creating an interactive and supportive learning environment.
