What made the 6th PAFLAR Congress truly special wasn’t just the sessions,it was the people.

Beyond the presentations, it was about building a stronger community committed to advancing care, research, and awareness in paediatric rheumatology.

[PAFLAR AFRICA @paflar]

Still reflecting on the incredible experience at the 6th PAFLAR Congress.

From insightful sessions to meaningful conversations, it was inspiring to see experts, researchers, and advocates come together with one shared goal, improving paediatric rheumatology care across Africa.

[PAFLAR AFRICA @paflar]

Continued education, advocacy, and public awareness are key to ensuring that children receive timely care and the opportunity to live healthier, fuller lives.
Together, we can build a future where paediatric rheumatology care is accessible to all.

[PAFLAR AFRICA @paflar]

This congress has created an important platform for learning, collaboration, and advocacy in paediatric rheumatology across Africa and the conversation is only growing louder — and more urgent. 🌍💚

[PAFLAR AFRICA @paflar]

✨ Collaboration between healthcare professionals, organizations, and communities

At the heart of it all is a powerful reminder: awareness remains essential. Too many children still go undiagnosed or untreated simply because these conditions are not widely recognized.

[PAFLAR AFRICA @paflar]

Day 2 of the 6th PAFLAR Congress is in full swing! The energy in the room is electric as brilliant minds continue to connect, collaborate, and champion better care for children with rheumatic diseases across Africa. The work continues. 🩺

[PAFLAR AFRICA @paflar]

💜 Lupus is real, misunderstood, and affecting more children than many realize.

This year, PAFLAR commemorated World Lupus Day by raising awareness about the myths surrounding lupus and the silent battles faced daily by both patients and medical practitioners.

[PAFLAR AFRICA @paflar]

Some of the powerful insights from the discussion included:
-Lupus does occur in Black people.
-In children, it can present with very worrying symptoms that are easily overlooked.
-In many tropical regions, lupus symptoms are often mistaken for malaria, delaying diagnosis

Today in Nigeria, we didn't just walk 2 kilometres, we walked with purpose, with strength, and with love for every lupus warrior who fights this battle daily. @joy_dazy Dr Ayodele Faleye, President of PAFLAR, walked alongside us and shared her powerful words with the community.
