It is my great pleasure to invite you to join us for the 54th Congress of the Society for Endocrinology, Metabolism and Diabetes of South Africa (SEMDSA) to be held at the Southern Sun Elangeni and Maharani in Durban from 26 - 28 March 2021. We are thrilled to be hosting the 2021 Congress and look forward to this being a productive, exciting and memorable meeting. SEMDSA is open to all persons involved in Endocrinology, Metabolism and Diabetes, and aims to improve clinical practice and promote .. continue reading clinical and scientific research into all branches of this field, for the well-being of people living with diabetes and related disorders. With the dramatic rise in the burden of diabetes, obesity and cardiovascular disease in South Africa over the past few decades, the organization has played a leading role in setting professional guidelines, maintaining academic training standards, providing guidance and advice on relevant policy, and promoting equal access to health services for all sectors of society. To this end, the Organizing Committee has been working toward compiling a relevant, exciting and innovative program, with a host of dynamic local and international speakers. The program offers a unique opportunity for people with diabetes, health professionals and scientists to share their knowledge, experience and insight, present their research, and keep abreast of the latest developments in the field of Diabetes, Metabolism and Endocrinology.
