WELCOME

Invitation to the 2024 SASTM Conference at STIAS!

Dear Colleagues, Fellow Travellers

We are delighted to extend a warm welcome to you for the upcoming quadrennial 2024 Travel Medicine Conference, “Travel Medicine in an Age of Change” proudly hosted by SASTM.

The event will take place from 16 to 19 October 2024 at the prestigious STIAS conference venue in historic Stellenbosch, surrounded by vineyards in the middle of the world renowned Cape Winelands…

In close proximity to the verdant university campus and just a quiet walk along oak lined avenues (1.2 km) from the historic and vibrant town centre. The STIAS Conference Centre boasts welcoming and knowledgeable staff, a modern architectural design, ample natural light, and a welcoming layout.

Nestled in serene surroundings, the venue’s well curated gardens provide a peaceful backdrop and a unique opportunity to connect with nature while discovering the historic roots of the original Mostersdrift farm (Est 1679).

Dr Albie de Frey and the SASTM Scientific Committee are dedicated to delivering a program of the highest quality, upholding the SASTM tradition of creating an educational, informative and enriching Conference experience. Come and learn something new in the same hospitable surroundings that have become synonymous with our Conferences.

A faculty of South African and international speakers will deliver practical, up to date academic content interspersed with lively, interactive workshops with YOU in centre stage.

This year choose STELLENBOSCH between Kaapstad and Kruger. (But you can still go there as well…)

Best regards,

Dr Max Peter Winkler – MBCHB (UCT) DOH (UCT)(SASTM President)

Dr Albie de Frey (SASTM President-elect and Scientific Programme Chair)
