Dear Colleagues and Friends of USANA,

On behalf of the Executive Committee of USANA, I would like to take this opportunity to invite you to attend the 5th USANA Biennial Congress which will be held from 08 – 11 September 2022 in the Mother City of South Africa – Cape Town.  The congress venue is set to be the majestic Century City Conference Centre.

The ongoing COVID 19 pandemic has obvious implications for our biennial congress and the USANA Exec is closely tracking the situation in South Africa. While we would all wish to return to in-person meetings, we do not believe we can confidently plan for a full face to face meeting. Our congress will therefore be a hybrid meeting with options for virtual attendance and in person attendance under strict adherence to COVID 19 protocols. We believe we have selected an online platform which will allow a truly interactive experience. USANA 2022 will be an excellent opportunity for delegates to network and exchange scientific and clinical information with local and international colleagues with the aim of continuing to strive for the best outcomes in neonatal care.

We look forward to welcoming you to Cape Town, and in advance thank you for your support in helping us make USANA 2022 a successful Congress. We know that this is going to be a great experience as we rekindle past friendships and create new relationships.

 

See you all in Cape Town!

Warm Regards,

Dini Mawela                                                                      Anika van Niekerk

President USANA                                                               Chair:  Organising Committee
