MESSAGE FROM THE ORGANISING AND STEERING COMMITTEE
The enormous task given to the South African Institute of Environmental Health (SAIEH), to organise the 4th All Africa Congress on Environmental Health is once again a great opportunity to showcase Africa.
We feel privileged to have been appointed to organise this event, to ensure that the 4th All Africa Congress meets the expectations of the global community. The Organising Committee has gone to great lengths to ensure that your visit to Johannesburg will be an experience never to be forgotten.
This Congress will strive to address Environmental Health concerns affecting Africa as a continent. It is in this context that International best practices and expertise shared at this gathering will be beneficial to both underdeveloped and developing countries alike.
The Africa Group of the IFEH is creating an ideal platform for delegations from all over the world to interact, share experiences and assist fellow colleagues on many of the topical global environmental health issues.
Johannesburg is South Africa’s economical capital and is a tourism destination. This Congress will be held during the best time of the year in terms of weather conditions. The venue for the Congress is a world class facility and has won many awards as a Conference venue.
We hope that delegates will take full advantage of everything the Congress has to offer and make sure that the rich experience gained in Johannesburg in November 2024 will be shared with the rest of Africa. We urge delegates to join us in Johannesburg and we look forward to welcoming you to our beautiful country.
CALL FOR ABSTRACTS/PAPERS
The Organising Committee invites prospective speakers and presenters to submit abstracts for this Congress in terms of the identified themes.

The value and involvement of other disciplines and organizations will give this Congress a multi- disciplinary flavour.
