2017
Following the newly developed “Live How Should I Treat” format, AfricaPCR2017 will for the first time, see
not only 1, but 6 Live Cases incorporated into the main programme.
Groote Schuur Hospital, Cape Town
We are pleased to announce that the Live Centre for AfricaPCR2017 will be Groote Schuur, one of South
Africa’s premier tertiary academic hospitals, which aligns with the PCR principles, “By and For” the African
Interventional Community.
The inclusion of the hospital as a Centre of Excellence for Live Cases, fittingly falls in the year of the 50th
anniversary of the first South African heart transplant, allowing us to honour this cardiology milestone.
Once again the course promises to facilitate transfer of skills and knowledge in a forum that takes into
consideration our diverse cultures and pathologies and the unique challenges of our African region.
