摘要

On April 21, the 4-day 2015 World Congress on Disaster and Emergency Medicine (WCDEM) will open in Cape Town, South Africa. The Congress will afford those who are interested in disaster health and emergency medicine the opportunity to assemble in a single venue. Congress attendees will be able to witness the advanced state of both disaster and emergency care throughout Africa. Many outside of Africa may not be aware of the dedication and excellent work that has been done by physicians within the continent to provide high-quality disaster health and emergency care for populations that are among the most diverse in the world.
