Organized by the SHARE Global Health Foundation in close collaboration with regional societies, COLDA 2021 aimed at empowering healthcare professionals (HCPs) to diagnose, prevent, treat, and achieve a cure for liver diseases for the benefit of patients in Africa. As this was the 4th COLDA, we continue 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 the support from an international community of experts, they exchanged knowledge on the latest developments and achievements in the management of viral hepatitis and liver disease with a special focus on the African context. This highly scientific and educational abstract-driven conference consisted of keynote speeches, state-of-the-art lectures, oral and poster abstract presentations, roundtable discussions, and stimulating debates with ample time for discussion.
We are certain that the conference 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 had an exceptional opportunity to share and acquire knowledge, as well as experience a wide spectrum of topics related to liver disease.
